Caller I.d. shown from: schmitke harvey.

I'm in London, England, and this number keeps calling. Driving me nuts!

This was a telemarketing scam from a "boiler room" in India (presuming the accent of the caller), informing me of the "WHY-russ"  on my computer and that he was able to fix it for me. I led him on, briefly, although he apparently had a hearing deficiency but, more likely, it was the quality of the call, or the "Marvin Mellowbell" diction I had temporarily adopted. I terminated the call and he called back two more times, both with insults.  The last time, I asked whether he enjoyed textual intercourse with goats or chickens, or both, and informed him I would be forwarding details of the call to the Do Not Call List, which has been done.  He said, in parting, he hoped I would get well soon.  Such a nice fellow.

I am sick and tired of these scam calls. surely there is a way to track them and charge them, for harassment and fraud. How many millions do they get from the elderly, young, and inexperienced.

Another company identifying themselves as Microsoft. As soon as I heard this I hung up. Microsoft does not make these kinds of calls. The caller could barely speak English and spoke with a very distinct and easily recognizable Asian accent.

As soon as I picked up the phone just hung up as I have now stupidly told someone when I was home to answer.

threatening call from this number

This number, Indian accented gentlemen, aka Alex shaw?, said from Microsoft.  

Threatening phone call to block my computer.   Has phone repeatedly today

Consider getting a call blocking device or phone.. You can google them and many are around $50.00 or so. If its a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.

Have recv'd 4 calls over 2 day period so far.  Didn't recognize number on call display so I ignored them.   Glad I did.
