I'm only guessing it is an auto-dialer going through the list of stolen Target data to see which numbers are valid.

I received a phone call from this same number today at 11:13 a.m. The name on my phone came up..JOAN HAGGAR. 201-585-1629. They said they were a Technical Support Computer Company. They told me that they received info that my computer was at great risk for hackers n I needed to go to my computer n they would help me thru it clearing it up. I gave them no info .. I dialed the number back n it said this mailbox Is unable to accept messages! Definitely a scammer wanting to hack my account.

I got the same person, JOAN HAGGAR, calling from this same number this morning, Tuesday, 4-8-14. She claimed to be from Windows Computer and said someone was trying to hack my computer and told me the same thing, that they would help me eliminate the problem. I gave them no info, either, and hung up.

My aunt received a call from this number and came to me asking if this sounds legit. This is without a doubt a scam. Do not do anything these people tell you. They are trying to take control of your computer. In fact, don't even bother talking to them. Just don't answer.

Received a call from the same phone number with the Joann Haggar. Said the same things to me as everyone else on these posts. I told her I knew this was a scam and to take my name and number off their list. Anyway as I was telling her off she hung up on me also.
