I am sorry I am not able to provide a lot of information this person whom my elderly father did make a smaller purchase amount with kept calling for more money telling my dad that he had a computer virus. My dad happened to mention it to me and I was able to tell him to not give any person funds just have them reach out to myself or my son.

Someone continually calling, claiming to be from Hewlitt Packard. I hung up and blocked their number several times and they would call again a few days later from another number. Finally, I entertained them him and was told that I had paid $*** for a service contract and they were refunding my money as instructed by The ScamPulse.com. I never bought a service contract and when I told him this he said I had paid for it when I bought my computer. All I had to do was to sign on to my computer and fill out a refund form and they would instantly give me the $***. the last call came from a Pompano Beach, FL # (954)968-5569. I told I was not at home and I would call him back. He said his name was David Johnson, although he spoke with an Indian accent, gave me a phone # of (518)720-9137 and a case # of ***.
