This number called me, maybe several times during the past two weeks, but I usually don't answer when I don'[t know the number. This time however I did answer and the voice, and east indian accent, guy said he owed me a refund for the computer service I have as they are discontinuing the service. I said ok what do I do? He proceeded to have me go online to Western Union and through a credit card arrange for a refund. Although I was weary I did it like a dam fool. Then the screen went blank and he hung up. I immediately called my credit card company and sure enough he tried transfer $499 or 4 & something via Western Union. I notified Western Union, the Police in Bellevue, OH where the call originated from and they said I have to file the complaint with my local PD. I did give them the phone number though. Since it is federal offense I will also notify the federal authorities. I can't believe I was so dumb and feel for that. Since he knew about my computer service, and was quite astute with the computer, I need to go back and investigate the computer service as that probably as a fraud as well. Please beware out there. If the phone company monitors these messages I hope you will also start recording his phone calls for evidence.
