Received email message from this number in reference to a car I am trying to sell. Obviously a scam. I received this message supposedly from someone named Jayden Tyler, Jayden Tyler <jaydentr69@gmail.com. "i also wish to make this transaction cash and carry deal but I cannot make it up due to some vital reason and besides am currently
out of state for work as a petroleum project engineer in (Hamburg oil
Field, Alberta) and regarding the title transfer the shipping company
will handle everything on my behalf so my only quickest payment option
is through PayPal so i think we can make it easier and faster by
understanding each other so i will like you to get back to me with
your paypal email address for quick payment and also like to read the
item location address for the hauling arrangement so get back to me
ASAP."

This is a scam. Kevin states he is from Microsoft calling about my computer. He wants you to log-on to your computer for him to have access to your personal inforamtion.
Called, left no message. Caller ID listed "Matt" and labeled it as fraud and/or scam
I was told that ive a pending parcel with them and that i need to wire them payment to deliver the parcel to me. They dont want to tell me what the items were. I felt weird and asked them for their company. I called back to check on the company but they said they never called me.
This is scam.<br /><br />They did not call, but rather,<br />this was the phone number on a computer popup<br />generated by a malware program that my friend<br />somehow got installed on his Windows 7 64-bit computer.<br /><br />There were two different numbers, in fact<br />1 888 755 6582<br />1 844 780 6784<br /><br />When my friend called,<br />the scammer claimed to be a Microsoft technician<br />and wanted to charge $180 to fix the problem.<br /><br />Thankfully my friend did not give any<br />bank account nor credit card information.<br /><br />Thankfully my friend called me.<br /><br />The computer's "Task Manager"<br />showed about five different processes<br />(I do not remember their exact names)<br />grouped all together, named something like...<br /><br />gt_ast???<br />g2a_???<br /><br />..I should have saved a sreenshot,<br />or recorded the exact names...<br /><br />I RIGHT-clicked one of those processes,<br />and clicked "Open file location"<br /><br />It was in the folder "GoToAssistant"<br />(if I am remembering it exactly and correctly)<br />and that was at<br /><br />C:\Program Files\GoToAssistant<br /><br />...or it might have been<br /><br />C:\Program Files (x86)\GoToAssistant<br /><br />One of those two... for sure,<br />on his 64-bit Windows 7 computer.<br /><br />That lead me to believe I could uninstall it<br />with the Window 7 "Control Panel" item<br />"Program and Features".<br />(which back in the Windows XP days<br />was the "Control Panel" item<br />"Add/Remove Programs"<br /><br />I uninstalled the program using the computer's<br />Microsoft Windows "Control Panel" option<br />"Programs and Features".<br /><br />I found it in the list of installed programs as<br />"GoToAssistant".<br /><br />I click once on that line to highlight it.<br /><br />Then I clicked the button at the top of the list,<br />a button labeled "Uninstall".<br /><br />My friend also had several 'toolbars' in the<br />"Programs and Features" list which I uninstalled,<br />although I do not know if those were related to the<br />GoToAssistant installation.<br /><br />I also had to open each of his browsers,<br />"Firefox" and "Internet Explorer",<br />and disable a couple of toolbars there.<br /><br />I wish I knew of the best way<br />to report these $#%'ers<br />so that the would do jail time.<br /><br />If you have been scammed in this fashion,<br />I know it is embarrassing, but please report it<br />to the police or other authority,<br />so that the immensity of your problem<br />gets put into the public record.<br /><br />Your report might be the one that finally<br />gets the authorities on the ball.<br /><br />I wish you all the best,<br />and my heart goes out to you.<br /><br />- Christopher James Francis Rodgers<br />
Scammer - preying on Craigslist people. Beware, they try to get you to log on to a website (http://work.vinfacts.space?work) and thankfully I googled it before I tried to log on because it is a fraudulent address. Not sure what happens if you visit the site, but I'm in San Antonio, TX and it looked suspicious that someone from LA using a landline # was texting me about a vehicle we're selling. People are LAME!<br />They also use the email address: cardenasvkzeyleh@yahoo.com which looked fishy too... <br />
Selling some kind of mailers. Called just for kicks. Its a SCAM. First sign is they TEXT and don't call.
Nigerian romance scam began on match.com user textme5855687670 Daniela Brooke alias used with 'Sweet Krissy' Madison pics. brookedana72 @yahoo.com requested urgently needed money. Initial ph# chgd to 352-247-4978<br />Had me send moneygrams to 'neighbor' Edward Lucas in Florida and 'coworker' Lara Paul in Lagos, Nigeria where she was allegedly doing makeup for a beauty pageant. Send no money!! This is not a Caucasian Canadian female but a group of Nigerian men!!.Creepy!!!
Scam call from 11584163 (obviously forged) & gave this # (217....) as a call back #. Claimed to be a windows technician wanting access to fix my computer. The guy had a heavy Indian-?accent & hung up when I kept aasking him personal questions.
This number is a fraudulent company claiming to be techsupport. I think tho that this number probably gets recycled quickly in an open pool. If you call it, you get a very quick response with a lot of background noise that says; this is Ron from support, how can I help you today. doesn't mention the company or what. Quick goolgle search will show you that this doesnt belong to any tech number. I found this number after I believed my father was scammed with a spyware alert and then he gave remote access to the machine
I was left a voice mail message that I was being sued by the IRS and to call this #!! I have not IRS issues so this was a FRAUD for sure. I returned the call and the phone was never answered!!
Was selling an amp on Craigslist and this number texted me trying to scam me out of it. <br />The number said to go ahead and pack up the amp and his "movers" will be there soon. He will send a check through the mail to me - with a little extra on top no less!<br /><br />I'm in Houston and this dude was trying to scam me all the way from Maryland. When called out he quit responding. Wouldn't answer my calls either.<br />
Scammers indicating call is from an inmate in the local county jail. Wants you to pay $9.99 for a ten minute call. Total and absolute scam!!!!
Hispanic male - I could barely understand his message - but it was about Windows and computers. Well, this Mac girl knows better than to encourage a Window washer. I asked if he was calling about computer, he said "yes", I said that I knew this was a scam, he interjects no no no, I thank him for calling, and hang up and immediately block that # on my phone
