Caution is essential with unsolicited calls like this, especially on holidays when folks might be less alert. These reports paint a clear picture of a persistent tech support scam, where callers impersonate companies such as Zone Firewall or AOI Technicians to gain remote access to your computer, peddling fake updates or refunds that end up costing victims dearly. The disjointed accents, silent pauses, and vague threats about unpaid services are classic red flags for operations likely run from abroad. Hang up immediately if you get such a call—never share details or allow remote control. Report to Action Fraud to help curb these nuisances, and consider registering with the Telephone Preference Service for fewer cold calls. Staying vigilant protects your tech and wallet.
Calls from this number and its variations come periodically. Today they rang, leaving a vague voicemail about payment for some services I'd supposedly gotten. No clue on the services or the callers. They're operating in the shady realm of Scamland.

Beware of this number, as it appears to be associated with scamming activities, allegedly from an AOI technician.
Clearly a scam, the caller claimed to be from Zone firewall.
They claimed to be from AOi technicians wanting to inspect my computer due to updates that hadn't been completed. After informing the original AOi company over two years ago that I wouldn't engage with them, and seeing online that they appeared to have gone out of business, I suspected they were scammers.
This is clearly a scam, with no legitamacy what so ever
An automated voice message was left, which seems suspicious and likely a scam.
