User Reports

Apple iCloud Support

"As of 2-29-2020 I have received a call approx. every 30 mins. claiming my i cloud acct has been breached and stop using any Apple devices. I went for opt #1 and a man answered with an India accent telling me to log on to my computer and he'd help me with the issue, that Russia, Germany and China all have made too many inquiries... I hung up."

Social Security Administration

"Caller said they were Federal Agent Badge #ssn615639 Kevin Anderson. He said found suspicious activity on my social security number... I asked why he was calling me from Texas on a phone number from New York and he said they have different locations."

IRS

"caller said i was in violation of tax fraud and i needed to pay 4000$ w/target gift card"

US Government Grants

"I went through multiple calls to listen to their entire scam. In the end, you must send them $200 by Western Union so they can send you a $9000 government grant.I didn't send the $200, since I suspect it's possible they are con artists."

Microsoft / HP / Geek Squad

"I was called and told I was getting a Microsoft refund and the best way to refund it is by checking account. Then by virtual connect and me accepting, I went and logged into my acct. he put not $299 but $4,299. Then said the only way to reverse the $4,000 was to get gift cards."

Family / Seniors

"I also received a call from a guy coughing the whole time on the phone and saying he was my grandson and that he got in a car accident and ended up going to jail... He gave me a phone number, 315-636-0542, and said it was for John Reid, a so called Public Defender with case number, 0426771-A."

Amazon

"Got an automated call from this one saying it was about a $400 Amazon order placed this morning and if I'd placed the order, hang up and do nothing. If I hadn't, to call the number. That was almost a good trick - I did place a large Amazon order this morning!"
