Recorded message that was the ScamPulse.com and that my email had been compromised (which it had and working with new Go-Daddy as new service provider to fix). The recording was otherwise unidentified, and I have never gotten a recorded call like this, particularly recording stating call the ScamPulse.com representative back at phone number: 559-900-3424. Thought you should know.

No money has exchanged hands. I am not sure what they are hoping to accomplish.

Received a call this morning from a man claiming to be from BBB. He wanted to confirm my address and number of employees. He hung up on me when I asked him his name. I called the number shown on my caller ID. There was a recorded message from a woman with a British accent stating the individual I was trying to reach was not available.

A guy named Ed Hopkins called and said he was with BBB and wanted to talk to the owner. Apparently he wants us to give our credit card number so we can stay in good standing.

I received a phone call this morning from a man named Micheal from the ScamPulse.com telling me my computer was having problems and he could help me. I kept asking him what company he was from because I didn't realize that the BBB deals with fixing computers or that their employees would call from a cell phone. Figuring it was a scam I told him if I had issues with my computer I would contact the Original Equipment Manufacturer and then said goodbye.
