Anyone else getting weird call from MapSupport?

Has anyone else received weird calls from a place called MapSupport? It starts with a recorded intro that say many people have flagged your business address as inaccurate, to correct the info press a number to talk to an associate..."

I tried to get some info out of someone who identified himself as Aaron, but he became very testy when I would not cooperate with his line of questioning.

I have been called several times by this company, I ask them to stop calling, my info is correct on Google and Google maps, so I'm not sure what they are up to.

I got this call from the “democrats” wanting me to “vote for Hillary.” It all sounded sketchy to me. I’m pretty sure its some kind of scam.

LOL I love playing with these guys too!

With luck you will get them to scream that God will get you for this - to which you can reply “not as much as he will get scammers”

Google “Ebola Monkey Man” for a NSFW web site dedicated to ‘scamming the scammers’

Isn’t caller ID great? I seldom answer phone if the caller is unknown to me.

I have a totally generic Anglo Saxon name.
But I can do a very credible heavily Indian accented English.
Throws them for a loop every time.

Except now they can spoof caller ID pretty easily it seems.

I get fake calls from Russia or somewhere that show

202 area code
and “IRS BUREAU”

Oh, very good! I am happy for you! Would you might be wanting some good new license for doors? I got them right now here to send them out to you at where you am living, my friend!! How many door have you? My name is Charles Abercromby and I want to be your supplier man. I am being at Cape Cod now.

“All I get is calls from Frank in India wanting to sell me some Windows license”

I tell them I cannot find the “any” key. Been keeping me up nights.

lol..
I recently got a call from a dude named Kevin, who told me he was calling regarding my windows license also..

I asked if this was a spam call, no ma'am I just am calling to help you repair your computer windows system..

so I told him I use ANDERSON WINDOWS AND PELLA WINDOWS AND DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER..

I LAUGHED AND HUNG UP, DID NOT GIVE HIM THE PRIVILEGE TO HANG UP ON ME..

SO THEN I WENT TO REDIAL HIS NUMBER. AND IT CAME UP ON MY CAPTIONCALL PHONE. AS A NON WORKING NUMBER AND HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED...

MADE SURE IT WAS ALL DELETED ON MY PHONE MENU.

CRAZY WORLD WE ARE LIVING IN..

No calls, but weirdness in real life.
I caught the Google Maps street view lady on my dead end street a few years ago. Went out and asked her what’s up with the camera thingy on top of the tiny subcompact car.
Told her I didn’t want my house photographed and on the internet; she said ok, she wouldn’t, but did it anyway.

Few years later, I got a mailer from the intrusive American Community Survey, put out by the Census Department. I refused to answer and return mail it; then I began getting harassing personal visits.
It was the SAME WOMAN as the Google streets lady!

I had one of those calls 2 days ago. The caller started with “This is (some name) from Microsoft tech support...” I interrupted by just saying “No, you’re not.” Caller immediately hung up.

Two days before his death he managed to sneak out a written message informing me of a trunk box which he conceived under the roof of our house containing valuables and cash sum of ($28.500,000USD)>
