User Reports

Microsoft / Windows Defender

"I called the number in the email to cancel and the longer I was on the phone the more it sounded phoney and I told him so and he hung up on me. ... The guy on the phone was in a boiler room (you could hear in background all the voices) he had an Indian accent and kept telling me to 'listen' It was rude and he insisted on accessing my home computer."

Apple / iCloud

"Nine calls so far today with 5 minute to 25-30 minute intervals about my Apple account that has a security breach and or cloud. I have no Apple devices. These people can drive you crazy, don't let them and don't talk to them."

IRS / Department of Treasury

"Left prerecorded message stating that I did not respond to something and it is being considered intentional fraud and a case will be filed against me... Recording made to sound intimidating but did not use proper grammer expected from an educated individual."

"Robo call saying my social has been flagged as leaving a suspicious trail of fradulent activities, that its time sensitive and urgent and I shoudl call before my social security number is suspended. Bitch please...."

Publishers Clearing House (PCH)

"Called at 3:00 a.m. I thought it was an emergency so I shot straight up out of bed. These scammers should be fined big time."

Central Hudson / O&R / NYSEG

"'Jasmine' from APG called... and asked for Accounts Payable. She said they are affiliated with NYSEG and claimed we had a refund check coming to us but we would have to give them info from page 2 of our utility bill. Fortunately, we declined."

Auto Dealerships

"This says it's about car repair insurance. I waited on the line one day, when someone came on they asked my name because my information didn't come over with the phone call. When I told her I'd been getting all these calls 5-6 a day I wanted my number removed she hung up on me. I still continue to get the calls."
