I called and was greeted by “Shadav how can I help you?” I asked if this was Turbotax and he said he was with “Webinfotech which provides service for Turbotax.” But he refused to tell me his favorite color.
“Web Infotech” might be this company, whose U.S. “business address” is a suburban home in New Jersey.
Bandwidth.com via ZipWhip, “Shiram” picked up from Web InfoTech,
Web InfoTech, LLC is an Indian scam call center founded by Mihir Shah in Englishtown, New Jersey, on June 14, 2006 according to their Bizapedia listing. The company has also impersonated Facebook to claim someone from Nigeria hacked into your account and request payment through a $500 Google Play gift card, according to a user report on ScamPulse.
ASSOCIATED PHONE NUMBERS:
(856) 536-8843 (Callback number, Peerless)
(855) 755-1940 (Signal One, now used by the “Medical Alert Center”)
To make matters worse for them - It would appear they’ve been involved in several lawsuits over the past few years, a FAIR FEW regarding their ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL telemarketing practices:
Originally they wouldn’t “joke” or whatever the fact I said I have Medicare Parts A, B, C AND D! Let alone E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y AND Z. I HAVE ALL THE PARTS EVEN THE TOP SECRET ONES. But now they see it as a small side joke and don’t mention it.
856 554 9676 worked but it took like 15 seconds of dead silence before it started ringing. I talked to an Indian asshole that confirmed what you said. Now it seems they blocked my number after that 1 phone call LOL.
Interestingly, querying the URL installturbotax.online redirects to https://123phsetup.com/, which is a DNS error for me – footprints of a forgotten fake printer support scam?
Interesting…When I called the 855 755 1940 number I got life protect 24/7. (Or so they claimed to be.) In the process of determining if it’s an imposter or not.
