Last call was 10:15 AM its now 10:30 AM and I haven't gotten another call yet, I hope they give up because they ruined my morning so far.
Received the following from an anonymous user: "Just got a call from this number (303) 333-9999 claiming my debit card had been locked. Of course I hung up immediately and called my bank to make sure everything was okay."
Yes, the guy is a scammer.
Got A call from 333-9999 when I tried to return the call got an answering service the voice on the other end sounded rather fake and said " the call you received was a scam." Then said to call the authorities. I don't have any money and am on disability. So what could they want from someone like myself having no bank account or credit cards.
I missed the call and called the number back. Got a recording that said ignore any calls from this number. Said the number was hacked and any call from it was a scam.
I received a recorded call stating I was being sued by the IRS with a number to call for more information.

From: 303-333-9999, Denver CO, said they have dispatched a SVC, claiming someone filed a complaint against me and they needed to deliver documents. Needed me to verify my address. I hung up.
Just got a call from this number looking for my father-in-law, and then asked for his son, who he didn't know the name of, he thought my name was the son. He said he was doing references for the father-in-law. I knew it was a scam from that. Seems like they are just looking up numbers from the phone book and scamming them, now preying on the family as well.
My mom got a call on several different occasions.. one was about her PC having a virus and the non English speaking person was very persistent wanting to hack into her pc.I reassured her that we have Norton for protection and told her to hang up... also from 303-333-9999 there was a man saying there was a claim against her and they needed her address and we'll I Google the number that called and explained how far ppl will go to get money from u and they have ways of hacking ppl number and just to hang up on them... actually called the police and will call the general as directed by the police.
