They have called my phone six times in 24 hours. I answered once and they asked if I used micosoft windows. Told them I did not own a computer and hung up. They are still calling.

Well, what options does one have to defend themselves against intrusive callers?

• The Do Not Call list (Federal or State)
Works, but is effective against ONLY "legitimate" telemarketers.  Political callers, surveys and some other callers are exempt.  Scammers ignore the DNC list.

• NoMoRobo
A system offered by some telephone providers, to help automatically block robocalls.  Google "nomorobo" to see if it works with your phone provider.

• Shouting, screaming, swearing at the caller
Nope.  Does not stop calls.  May make you hoarse, and will disturb nearby people.

• Call blocker app, device or service
Could be a good choice (even though the scammers can use fake phone numbers), and some apps are free!
Google "call blocker" for more information, or check your favorite online sales site for a list.

Your phone provider may also offer blocking services.  Check their web page for information.

If you cannot use any of the above defenses, then:
• Do not answer calls from unknown numbers ... let them go to voicemail or answering service
• Do NOT return calls from unknown numbers!  All that does is verify your phone number!  And, in some cases, those return calls may cost $20 or more to complete.
• If you have a "dumb" cell phone, assign the scammer's number to a group named "scammers" (or similar).  Then, assign a silent ringtone to that group.

received two calls today june 27 for my stepson I told them he is under age of 18 and they hung up

has called several times, i am not answering.  its just one of several stupid phone calls i get like this daily....all from some state, all scams i am sure!

I received two call from a guy (Latino) claiming to be from WINDOWS and they have found a great deal of "error messages"  have been coming from my computer and they need access to it to correct the issue.  It is a scam, I did not llow them access, but I find that this is a scam other have fell to.

We'll those [***] BEST better stop calling me, the first time today I had told them that Erik (me) is no longer here, the prick hung up, the last 2 times i didn't hear my phone BUT NO leaving messages. If it keeps I may have to report it to the right people cause I know my mouth can get when I had had enough, oh screw it, it'll give me a chance to let out A LOT of asteem  lol

I am so tired of these scamming calls. If i am not going to fall for it why keep calling. called stating my computer is sending error messages. funny thing my computer was never registered and there is no way for them to know that. guy said it is not a scam I said I dont care stop calling. I put myself on the national do not call list but it sadly takes 31 days to process.

unfortunately being on the Do Not call list won't stop those idiot.  They are calling from another country and the list means nothing to them.

Received this call on independence day. Whew....what did they do that for? I have zero tolerance for calls of this nature and I was in no mood for this. I explained to the caller what today means to me and this country and it is not the day to play games with a Marine. I KINDLY wished him to have a VERY blessed day.

they call everynow and then and dont speak anything.. its a pain !! would request to report and close this number if possible.. Thanks !

A guy with Indian or Middle Eastern accent said there was a problem with my computer, first asked if I was using Windows, then said an error report involving a security risk was sent to Microsoft from my computer.  I think he got my name from a job board site because he used my whole name and no one does that.  He wanted me to log in to a website.  Instead of doing that, I wrote it down and looked up the main words (rather than typing in the actual web address in my browser, as he wanted me to).  It is an app that lets someone set up a VPN connection to your computer, available free on the internet.  I told him to forget it, I wasn't going to do that for someone who randomly called me on the phone, and then I hung up.  Someone from that area code, different phone numbers has called me every hour today, this was the first time I answered.  If someone calls you and tells you to log into a site, DON'T DO IT!!  IT COULD BE A VIRUS, OR. . .  NEVER LET SOMEONE LOG INTO YOUR COMPUTER UNLESS YOU KNOW THEM (and even then, I'd be careful).  The website he wanted me to log in to is Team Viewer.  I called the number right back to see how they answered the phone and I got a "this number has been disconnected" message.  I have one of those outgoing messages on my voicemail app too, which I can assign to any number I want.  That's what he's going to hear if he calls me back.  When will these people learn??!!!

Got a call from them today, of course, knew it was a scam, performed reverse number lookup where everyone said it was a scam, and also, reported the incident to the Nassau County Consumer Affairs and FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).  

I just received a call from same number, the guy with an Indian accent got angry at me for not falling for their scam.  Do NOT believe them.  I called Microsoft directly and that number is a scam!

They called me said they had to do a test on my computer and i haven't been on my computer in a year or so but they also said its running a bunch of numbers but just turn on my computer and they can test it blocked number

They have already called me twice today. I don't even own a PC.  The other day I was getting the grant money scam calls. Possibly the same company?

Got a call from another Indian scammer dude who claimed he was with Windows.  Don't fall for whatever he says.

This number keeps calling And im fed up

I got a call from the number 516-578-2826; nobody left a message.
I knew it a scam because I have never talked to this number before.
I was ready to strike him dead like a hungry snake with poisoned fangs.
He never talked or left a message.
I would have called him back with my telephone number blocked.
Oh I would have struck him dead like a thunderbolt.
    Beware if these calls. Do not fall for these fools. You have worked very hard for your money.
Be smart.
