(980) 303 in Midland, NC

harassment, caller calls all hours of the night. Caller is helping another person harass me by the name of Tara Hovis from Bessemer City, NC.

I am from New Jersey and I advertised some items that I am trying to get rid of on Facebook Marketplace. A person calling from this number said that they were interested in the items that I had. The person offered to pay cash for my items. I informed the person that the items were free. The person then said that they would send me a conformation code to make sure that my post was real. I had never been asked a question like this before but I didn't but I didn't suspect that anything was wrong. The person told me to check my text message for a 6 digit code. I got the code number and I gave it to him. Then the person asked me to give him another cell number to call me on because mine had a verified problem. I then started to realize that something was wrong. I told the person that they appeared to be nothing but a scam artist. Today, I looked up his phone number and I see that it is a landline from North Carolina. I am from New Jersey. This person is an obvious scam artist. The person did all of this by way of texting. No actual phone call was made.

Was advised that they charged my account $299 for virus protection. I already have virus protection which is paid for by my employer. I have had it for 6 yrs.
