Says Norton, PayPal and GeekSquad support
He picks up and starts cursing without the opportunity to say anything. Take this PoS down with a call flood if possible.
I called. He told me I have the wrong number. He sounds defeated
Defeated? He’s probably sad because he spilled tea on the nudie picture of his mother.
Quick to hang up and block.
Picking up 2:20 ET.
Got thru once no says no longer
whoever this is, is not finding email addresses in database??
Really filthy and nasty mouth right from the start as soon as he heard my voice. And I mean nasty.
I find it extremely sad that all these guy only have filth on their minds. If they put all that effort into their own country they would live in a paradise.
Still on with them?
No, he hung up. Trying from a different number.
Sad they are this way, indeed.
Wow. This is very strange. From my TextNow number I just called for the first time today, for the first time ever, this toll-free number. I pressed zero to speak to a representative. I started hearing the HOLD music. Then though it went to the “TextNow generic voicemail greeting.”
So I called again and pressed ZERO. A guy answered with “hello” and he had a slight foreign accent maybe. I said in my attempt at an “old decrepit man” voice, “Yes sir, what is your name?” He replied, “Sam.” I said, “Hello Sam, is this Norton? I did not make the purchase.” He said, “No, this is a grocery.”
Then I realized that Sam or some other criminal conferenced me into the same conference call with a scam baiter or harasser. At first though I thought that the high pitched voice of the other scam baiter/harasser was really “Sam” trying to sound different because he had said he would connect me to his manager when I told him that no grocery store uses a toll-free number.
After me and the other scam baiter/harasser spoke a few minutes after I finally realized it was not “Sam” acting like he had a high pitched voice and was someone different, a different man was conferenced into the same call as the two of us already conferenced in together. The man was saying, “Feck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
The three of us laughed, then the call hung up.
Was that you by chance, @JusticeinTexas? Whoever had the higher pitched voice when they conferenced me in with another scam baiter/harasser had to correct me because at first I thought it was the criminal “Sam” acting like he had a higher pitched voice, so I was calling him a “hijra” and mocking him. The higher pitched voice though corrected me so that I knew I’d been conferenced in.
You big guns in this thread must have scared 'em or bothered them enough that “Sam” said that the toll-free number is a grocery when I was trying to act like a victim and that I did not make the purchase. Way to go, you big guns!
I got the TextNow msg machine when calling this number.
- Phone Number: 786-475-8755
- Date of this Report: February 28, 2023
- Phone Line Type: VOIP
- Phone Company: TEXTNOW
- Phone Location: MIAMI, FL
So “Sam” when I called the toll-free number the very first time had conferenced me into this TextNow CALLBACK number or maybe to a different TextNow CALLBACK number of a criminal colleague. Sneaky and deceptive these criminals are. 
Now I get “no longer in service” when calling this number, though maybe they finally blocked my TextNow number.
EDIT: No, I tried again just now about ten minutes later but now I get put into the message machine of 1-800-974-2823. Maybe they recognize my number and are sending me into the voicemail. Now though I did NOT get the NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
