Caller identified himself as "David," foreign accent. Said that their company tracks error reports from computers, mine was identified as having downloaded hacking programs. Wanted me to follow his instructions on my computer to identify and remove programs. Most likely someone trying to hack computers and information.

A man with an Indian accent called me on this number claiming to be from Windows. He told me there was an urgent problem with my computer and asked for me to press certain keys (doing so would have granted him access to my computer). The thing is, I don't have a windows computer. The man got hostile when I asked for the name of his company and a number he could be reached at. I've received tons of harassing phone calls from these people over the last year and a half. They always change the number they call me on. Sometimes the number is not real (can't be called back, other times the number belongs to a legitimate, unaffiliated person or company.
This is not an actual person from Windows and they do not want to fix your computer. They want access to your computer so they can gather your information (credit cards, emails, other personal information, etc.)
Do not be fooled by anyone who calls on this number or any number who claims to be from Windows and tells you that you have an urgent problem.
Windows official website clearly states they are not affiliated with these people (whoever they are). Windows would not call you, you would call Windows. (As they are a huge company with millions of customers and most likely aren't spending their employees' time checking the status of their customers' IP address- not that they would have any reason to anyway).
The minute you question the person on the phone they try to revert the conversation back to you. If you cut them off, they get hostile. I told them to stop calling me once and the man told me he would call me every day for the rest of my life and then went on to threaten the life of me and my family.
This has been reported to the police. The police told me to report it to the bureau of better business, which I have.
This is most likely an out of country caller/hacker/lunatic. The police and bureau of better business haven't done much to resolve the harassment.
HIDE EVERYONE YOU KNOW. THEY'RE LOOKING FOR YOU.

called and stated that he had all my information regarding a judgement they were about to get on me regarding a payday loan. then stated he was going to have to call back and obtain my information from the HR person and asked who it was. Then stated they were pursuing this matter to the fullest extent but that he could offer me some services with handling my debts and gave me another phone number to call him back at to "discuss the matter" 609-964-4333. He didn't give me the name of his company while I was talking to him, just his name, but caller id showed the supposed company name...

I hate this vehicle processing department scam. They're always calling me with info on my cars. Where are they getting this info to begin with?
Whatever happened to the do not call list? Doesn't seem to be effective anymore.

harasses family and me for debt that is not owed.
Not sure about all carriers, but I know some will call the landline and “read” the text message. I got a call recently and when I said “hello”, an obvious digitized voice informed me I was getting a text message from a Virgin Mobile number (that I recognized as a friend’s), then read it aloud in a siri-like voice. It was a little strange. I don’t know if other carriers do it or not, but it is a neat idea.

Called offering business capital, but "David" resisted telling me the company name. Why would I (a legitimate business) want to deal with someone who doesn't want to identify themselves? I bet he wouldn't want to give up the information he would have required of me!

Keep getting unwanted calls from these guys - tell them to stop, no joy! This time he started talking his script and when I interrupted to tell him we were on the DO NOT CALL list, and I was going to have to file a lawsuit to get them to stop, he hung up before I could finish. What the heck?!?!

Seems like a scam. Phone number is Monrovia, yet when I called and asked for company name and address I got K&S Law Firm (which according to Google is located in Brentwood) and when asked for an address I was given an address in Newport Beach (1009 Bristol St. North, which according to Google is an empty construction site).
The scary part is that when a person named David left a message on my voicemail he knew everything about me including the name of my landlord and his wife's name and sounded like he was trying to threaten me that they're going to get them involved if they were not able to serve some legal document. The weird thing is they kept saying that the document is for XYZ. That XYZ is my ex husband whom I divorced 8 years ago and have nothing to do with him, nor do we live together.

I just get this call from an otherwise local number, what is UP with debt collection agencies using a 666 anywhere in their number? Upon answering this, I'm greeted by David..who is all chit-chatty like we're old friends telling me he was there to help me..? He NEVER says who he works for...only that he is looking to speak with blah blah and then spits out the last four Social Security numbers and asks then demands I confirm them..only then does this guy David let me know that he works for a collection agency and that thia call may be recorded. I hung up.
Recommend the same..Don't CONFIRM ANY INFORMATION!! In the state of Washington, collection agencies are required to inform you at the beginning of the call who they are, who they work for and what the call is about! If you give them ANY personal info, confirm any question with a YES, many of these types of companies will use this in THEIR favor and hold whatever they got against you all the way to court!

"David" indicated that I was selected for a prize (Global Xchange) which sounded like a timeshare marketing scam. First mistake, he used the wrong number for that stuff. He claimed that a friend/family member provided him with my contact info (not possible). In exchange, he provided a fake telephone number and email address. Spent 15 min talking to him, and he told me I was wasting his time....nice. I didn't know my psychokinetic powers were so effective that I could get him to call me just so I could "waste his time".
I think he provided too much information (second mistake). I suggest that if you are called by anyone from "global exchange" you take your time to interview them, and collect as much info as possible and post it here. We will aggregate the info and take care of these scammers. Please use a friendly tone, and get them to volunteer what they like about the company they are trying to sell you on. How long have they worked there, why does the number appear to be coming from where it is, how's the weather, etc, etc, etc. Post any fax, email, or address info that he volunteers. This guy is not very smart. He has slipped and will make more mistakes. Then he will be ours.
