404-666-0418 — Users report suspected fraud

In englischer Sprache meldete sich ein Herr und behauptete , mein Computer sei gehackt worden. Angeblich sei er von Microsoft. Ich habe sofort aufgelegt.

My voicemail identified this call as coming from 4046660148 which came up as a common scammer number. The caller identified herself as Jessie Jemison the daughter of a Patrick O'Neill whom I do not know. She was supposed to be calling to get my address to mail me an invitation to a retirement party for her mother. I do not recognize either name and the number she asked me to call was 2059550749. So I would think that both numbers should be on file as a scammer.

Yesterday evening I got a text message from this number with a link to be followed. I never follow unknown links from unknown numbers. I did a google search, there were a large number of people saying it was a scam.

""Hi, my name is Patrick O'Neill. I'm a website builder here in Atlanta, and I make websites for small businesses anywhere in Georgia on very small budgets. What I'd love to do if you let me is to show you a couple of website ideas I have for your business and I build simple affordable websites that rank extremely well on Google and my modern mobile-friendly site design will give your business a great online presence. So, please call me Patrick O'Neil at 404.666.0418. Again, 404.666.0418. Thanks so much, bye-bye."" Interesting story. Apparently ""Patrick O'Neil"" is actually ""Robert Selfors"" and lives in North Carolina. He has had many companies were he rips-off customers and subcontractors. Google those two names together for the whole story. Under his ""Patrick O'Neil"" persona, he claims to be a local web designer, remotely using local phone numbers for his robo-calls. And get this... one of his scams is that he is a Christian minister!!! He brags that everyone of his phone numbers is the devils number 666.

Female with heavy Indian accent asking for bank account or social security number. She then hung up on me.

This was a foreign language robocall. I suppose they call immigrants to make them pay a lot of money. If they don't, they will threaten them. Remember they are scammers.
