I have been receiving calls from this number for a year now. After I fell for the Microsoft tech scam and let them into my computer little did I realize this was a mistake. When I looked up their number I found a dozen stories about scammers. I changed all passwords, got a new Bank acct. and a new Bank, purchased Microsoft tech support we cleaned out 12 Trojan horses and 3 worms, then for safety they did a complete repartition brought it to an empty state, made new partitions, sent me an upgraded cd (I checked it online the cost was $300.00) they did not leave me unprotected and continued to call me till I was satisfied with my new computer.
NOW this 215 number calls me in Spanish! and its a recording to boot, so I just hit the answer button and then hang up.
I have gotten at least a dozen or so (maybe more) from this is what it looked like "( ) private number". So I don't answer that either. The second time M.S. scam called from a private number I just played around with the guy saying type in What?? I didn't understand u. Oh, its not working, the more he tried, the more frustrated he got. I just sat there watching T.V.saying ummm... no... it's not working ummm.. no, not that either. I must have had him on the phone for a 1/2 hr, he was soooo frustrated, then I said to him "listen u little scammer, I know your game, now u know mine. So F---k off for all the aggravation and money you freaking [***] cost me.
Mind you, I am not prejudiced but I was frustrated beyond my limit. Both the 215 and the unknown numbers still persist till today. My thought now is, if you don't know the number, just don't answer, let the answering machine get it, if it is important, I will call them back. Sorry this is so long.
