844 Area Code Scam Calls from Different Telephone Numbers

For the past few months, I have received a few scam calls from 844 area code telephone numbers. Most of the area code 844 scam calls were technical support and banking scams. The scammers' aims were to trick me into giving them remote access to my computer or trick me into calling a fake banking number where I will be asked for banking credentials and other sensitive information.

Here is a list of 844 area code telephone numbers that I have received calls from:

  • 1-844-994-1999
  • 1-844-562-2344
  • 1(844)966-5100
  • 1-844-383-4621
  • 1-844-850-8999
  • 1-844-313-7003
  • 1-844-745-1521
  • 1-844-837-6178
  • 1-844-576-0826

If you were tricked into giving remote access to your computer, please disconnect your computer from the internet and ask a tech-savvy person to scan your computer for malware or spyware. And, if you were tricked into calling a fake banking telephone number and have disclosed your banking information, report it to your bank.
