Told me I had a virus in my Microsoft Office and if I turned on my computer, they would help me get rid of it.

I was also told the caller was from Microsoft Technical Dept. and I had a virus  in my computer that they could help with. When I asked for a name he said "F--k you! Just find the problem yourself."

was extremely rude -- I hung up on them

Answered the call. As soon as he mentioned the word "computer", I hung up. I now have the number blocked.

Said I had a Federal charge and that I needed to appear before a magistrate.

Caller asked for the owner of windows computer.  Told him I had a Mac.  He said someone was calling from MS, and someone was trying hack into my windows computer, sounded like he was reading a script.  Told him I would have my IT dept look into it, and then he hung up on me.

A guy with sight accent said you have a problem with your computer windows.  I told him I did not believe him and hung up.  Blocked the number with my CPR Call blocker bought from Amazon.  Blocks 200 calls.  I am so tired of all the BS from strangers. Too bad politicians and phone companies don't help.

Have received two calls from this number within an hour today. First call the man said I'm calling about your computer, and I told him I did not have one, and the person hung up. The second call same man said he was calling about my computer, so, I asked him how may I help you, and he repeated that he was calling about my computer, and, again, I said to him how may I help you, this time the person hung up. My caller ID identifies this phone number as a cell phone in Ohio. What type of company would have a tech support call from a cell phone if you are calling to perform troubleshooting on a customer's computer.
Something really need to be done about these calls.

Received a call from this number stating they were calling from Microsoft about a problem with my computer.  I told them I knew they weren't from Microsoft and the call is a scam.  I work in support and knew there was no way they knew anything about my pc.  The response I got back was "what the he!!"  My response was "What did you say?"  Response back "A$$hole" and hung up.

Indian scam artists looking for credit card info. Tell them you can't speak right now, because you're just sitting down to a big steak dinner.

do I block the number from calling my home phone?

Yes! Most of these calls are coming from India and Pakistan. The only persons who should be touching your computer is you, your manufacturer, Real Windows support that you have called and/or maybe a real live tech you see face to face! And be very very leery of numbers when you look to call the real ones, there are fake websites up. Never call numbers from pop ups either, thats scareware.
