Scam telemarketing calls originating from this message... Calls being placed since August 24th, 2015. Caller has an accent (perhaps East Indian??).... He advised that he was calling to 'help with the computer'. My mother answered the incoming landline phone call when he called shortly after 7am, pst. BEWARE: HE MAY BE TARGETING SENIORS. We live in Southern BC, Canada. When I checked this number on line, I found that '980' area code is from the Charlotte North Carolina area & the Service Carrier is Time Warner Cable. I found 3 other 'warning' comments from recipients who have received 'scam' calls from this same phone number (between August 24th and September 3rd). The name on the Call Display showed as 'Unavailable'. One comment online advised that the Caller relayed that he was "Windows Tech Support"; Another comment advised that when the recipient of the call asked for a number 'to call back' to the caller, the caller hung up. The 3rd comment indicated that they were not picking up the call, and that they were being called repeatedly from this number. THIS IS A SCAM TELEMARKETING CALL.
