661-748-0240

Said his name was Mark when I answer and he asked for me to donate to "Make Blondes Smarter!" after I said no he asked for my address and I refused. I then asked him for his full name and he then hung up. When I attempted to call back it could not complete the call because it was a Skype user.

This # continously calls asking for the owner. I said not available who's this calling. She won't answer but will keep calling back to back.

(661) 748 0240 appears on outbound calls for Skype users - who have not set up their Skype caller ID yet. A Skype forum says this number is a generic default number. So, it could be from anyone and different people and "entities," and perhaps from a real friend or family member. It is also found to be a "spoofed" phone number, which means CYBERCRIMINALS "tricked" your caller ID to display the incorrect or default skype phone number with a nefarious purpose. NO LEGITIMATE BUSINESS WOULD USE a Skype default # unless they're hiding something.

Telemarketers do this so you cannot complain. Crooks do this to sell malware, scam you into giving them a remote connection of your computer to fix what is "infected with viruses", impersonate Microsoft, ISP or other company, to extort or commit other crimes. Criminals are noted to use personal information in the phone calls.

Anyhow, my call went like this. They insulted me saying that my website is, cough, cough not ranking well on Google. We are an SEO company. Choke. I told him we are ranking well on all our industry keywords. He says "good luck." Yeah, good luck to you, too scammer.

I received a call from this number at 2:15 AM. It woke me up but by the time I got to the phone it had gone to voice mail. The message was a bunch of horns honking and just background noise!

I have a skype account (you need one to use it), but I just put $10 in my account at a time - I don't use skype that often. Since I don't have a skype subscription for 6 months or a year or whatever, I was not given my own personal phone number. When you have your own number, people can call you using that number, and it should show up on their caller ID when you place a call. Because I don't have my own skype phone number, when I phone you your the caller ID will show a phone number that skype has available at the time for non-subscriber users.
I'm sure some people use skype for their own particular evil purpose, and enjoy calling without leaving a phone number at which they could be traced. I am believe that most people who use skype as I do, just use it for regular calls because it is reliable and very inexpensive. For example, I can place a call to anyone in the USA from most any phone in Europe, for only 3 or 4 cents a minute, and the call is nearly as clear as if I were calling from next door. The number that shows up on their caller ID however, will be one of the skype US numbers available at the time of my call. If I had a regular subscription, it would show my personal phone number at which you could call back. So, if you get a call from this number, it could be from an undesirable caller, or it could be from your nephew Tim.

I've seen "Skype" caller listed on my caller ID before so I let the phone go to speaker and kept very silent on this end. An East Indian, English speaking man on the other end kept asking "hello ? Hello?" and I let him go on until he hung up. I have family who use Skype and friends all over the country, internationally as well so occasionally I will put speaker on but say nothing. If it's someone I know they will know what to do.

This number calls everyday at the same time, despite me telling him to stop. Some guy with a bad English accent, says he's calling from an investment company in London and has investors interested in our company...Uh huh.

I just received a call on my cell phone right after I used skype on my computer!!! Thanks for the info now I know its scammers and have put them on my reject list.

Just got a call from this number - thinking it was my friend calling through Skype. I thought he was messing with me at first sounding like an Indian guy asking about business funding - so I played along - Do you make over $10k/month? - Sure! How much? - 1 million! Sir You make over 1million a month? - Sure!!! on and on - until I hung up - haha

Thank you for having this site up exposing this sham.

Received a call today at 5:14pm. The foreign man asked if I used windows 7. Then asked if I was in front of my computer. I told him no. He said get on your computer. This is when I hung the phone up.

I just received a phone call on my cell asking me if I was the owner of such and such address. I told her No, you have the wrong number. She apologized for the interruption and hung up. She sounded young, but spoke perfect English.

I googled the number before I came to this site and it says it belongs to Crazy Spades Entertainment, LLC so I called the number back. It IS a Skype number. Crazy Spades has a message on their website that says it is a false ad on Yellow Pages and they are working to have it removed.

I got a call from someone I know, showed up as 661 748-0240. I know he uses Skype. I googled it just out of curiosity to see where he was calling from and ended up here.
Must be a generic Skype number that anyone can hack into and or use?

I got a call from this number at 1:19 AM this morning. I didn't answer so I don't know what it is all about.

I got a call from this number 3-4 in past 3-4 week. from names Paul and Joseph telling me about my computer being infected and all and when I repeatedly tried to avoid the talks - in the most recent call he threatens/tells me that he will disconnect the internet port to my computer if I did not take their help.
WOWWWW..........Such a scammers

Also they have called me from another number 18553386023.

This is a very big criminal company that threatening people to kill them if don't give them money. I received their phone call, and they said they know my number so they can search my information, if I don't give them money, they will kill me!

Man with Indian accent polite and pleasant, inquiring in a services I provide in Holistics. He then asked for a price then went on to offer double the amount. There was one request he expected to be for filled he wanted to massage my feet. He has been calling every day since, I don't answer but I was caught off guard and did today. Again, he is very polite. When I realize it was him, I told him sorry I am very busy, he asked if he may call at a later time, I just hung up

This company calls from multiple different displaying area codes.

We received a call from an Asian gentleman calling from 508-490-6000 identifying himself at Manny from TriNet asking for our CIO, so we put him directly through to voicemail as we do with all cold calls.

Minutes later we get a call from another Indian gentleman calling on 559-515-8471 who identifies himself as Michael Peterson from Iron Mountain who also wants our CIO, so we transfer directly to voicemail.

Seconds later we get a call from 661-748-0240 but it's Michael again asking for our CIO's email address.

I asked if he left a voicemail, which he confirms he did. We advise as he keeps on calling from different area codes this is clearly a cold sales call and therefore as long as he's left a voicemail our CIO will reach out to him if interested.

This number may be used by phishers, but it may also be used by legitimate Skype callers. I have had a call from a legitimate business contact known to me, using this number. It merely means that the caller/scammer/phisher has your number and is using Skype. Unfortunately, with the reselling of data lists, this is a constant risk, and is probably no more or less likely to happen than the usual overseas untraceable numbers.

Got a call from "annonymous" first stating they are with Microsoft support and that they get reported about programs not running on our system. He had me run helpme.net in our run drive and our system asked for a pin that he was going to provide me. Right there was the red flag and I asked for his credentials before entering the pin. After going around and around for his information, he then asked if we can continue and I let him know we will contact our person in charge of our security and if it is legit we will call him back and we can go through the process. He did give me an 800 number to call back but according to the internet it doesn't belong to any company and had the same posts (scam) as this number. He called back from a different number (661-748-0240) about 2 hours later and asked if we can continue. I again told him we need to verify who he is before we let him access to our system and all he could say was "I already gave you that information." When I said I just want to confirm what I wrote down he said "If you want to waste you time that's up to you. I already told you who I am and who I'm with." He even asked if he can come to our office physically to show us and I promptly told him absolutely not and that is not acceptable. The credentials he gave to me is his name is Steven Roger with Microsoft Server Support. Station number 8901 and ID number MX90001189. After reading the articles others have posted this is definitely a scam and no information should be given to them under any circumstances.

I received a Skype call from a friend in the UK, and my phone just displayed my friends name. When I went to the call log on line, it showed the call as coming from Bkfd Main, CA 661-748-0240. I'd assume from this that spam calls anyone receives from this number came by way of Skype.

I have called by this number on early evening and offer me something that i couldn't understand. The voice just like a drunk person, spelling unclear, he didn't tell me his name.
