Bandwidth.com line, “Steve” answered as “PayPal” but refused to “suppoat” as I was asked to verify my landline number, which I am unable to do as the PBX anonymizes my Caller ID.
- I called back, and the bhenchod falsely claimed the ordered from Mountain View, California, prompting me to “open the Google Chrome” and download ConnectWise from helptech.live (Code: 17042, IP: 193.27.90.71 :nl:), which redirects me to mjgu76-jhi.cfd.
- Once remotely connected, the bhenchod blanked my screen with a fake update before having me fill out a fake “cancellation and refund form”
- Once complete, I was asked to log into my nonexistent bank account. But as I don’t do online banking, he blanked my screen and locked my controls as he transferred the call to his manager, “William,” who told me I will simply lose all my money before hanging up.

For the first time, I just called (833) 428-1005. I played along for a few minutes until I started mocking him and his criminal behavior. He became irate and cursed me, and of course I am flattered. He asked angrily, “Why you keep calling?” I’d not called this number before, so you fine folks must be messing with them by baiting and/or harassing them. He hung up eventually when I continued to ridicule him.
EDIT:
The second time I called (833) 428-1005, the phone call must have connected as the counter of the call had started ticking, but I heard for the first time in my life the strange sounds/beeps in a weird melody until finally a human scammer answered. I have NEVER heard this strange HOLD music since I guess it is HOLD music.
FURTHER EDIT:
They do not seem to be able to block or know how to block my phone number.
This HOLD MUSIC is annoying the hell out of me! Have I been transported back to the 1980s!
