Got unwanted call from 888-224-0966?
On 6/28/19, I received a call from 'henry Parison', and told there were efforts to change my pass word from Russia, on yahoo account. I was requested to go to yahoo, and delete any Russian other messages. Henry said there should be the scan and said do a 'r+microsoft button on the keyboard, type netstat cmd, then other letters. The commands were not executed for any actual changes. No money up front, was requested and I missed out on what I never heard him say. 'yahoo' cares about Russian hacking.
Said he was calling because my att email was hacked. I told him we would call att and I hung up. He kept calling our number like 7 times.
Received 4 calls in a 90 minute span. Leaves no message. Called ID reads not provided.
Said from yahoo email. I said I do not believe you and hung up
Blocked
Said he was from Google re: my gmail account .. right off the bat said I don’t believe you .. several hang ups and him calling again I let my son play with his sorry butt .. very very pushy even threatening that we need to do what he is telling ya to do
Said they were from Microsoft. Offered a long "security code no." I told them I didn't trust them and hung up on the,pm
Keeps calling and I do not answer. Never did, never will. From what I have read on the net it is fraud.
Repeat calls about my computer and won't stop since block them
Called at lunch time on Sunday. Advised my email was hacked. I hung up!!!
