I received a call from a 547 area code. The caller had an East Indian accent and I was immediately suspicious about the call. She said that she was Windows Technical Support and she tells me that my Windows machine has been violated numerous times. At this point, I knew it was a scam so I played along to see what she wanted me to do. <\/p>\n
I challenged her to prove to me that she is monitoring my machine. When she indicated the ASSOC trick<\/a> I knew this call was a full fledge scam, and proceeded to end the call.<\/p>\n Both my sister-in-law and my parents, like I are using VoIP for our land line calls. We all use voip.ms<\/a>. I’ve been using them for years and they are reliable and dependable. They also allow you to filter calls, which I used to block all area codes from 545 to 550, because these are invalid area codes<\/a>. I learned about these area codes after the call.<\/p>\n VoIP is not only about saving costs.

I use all these features frequently. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I received a call from a 547 area code.
