These jerks called at 12:24 am and awakened us. I cursed and then blocked them.
Called at 9:30pm! Who calls at that hour expecting to be believed? No response, so no idea if they are still peddling the same scam as to others listed here.
These jokers called yesterday Fri 888-787-8565 and today From 888-787-8566 twice at 6:36 pm and 11:15 pm!!!!!! It is joker scammers from India, pretending to be Microsoft to fix a virus supposedly on "our" computer..Yeah right! Ugh!
Calling repeatedly, but they don't leave a msg. All family members know not to answer unsolicited calls. Who would be stupid enough to believe it's about a computer virus?!
On Nov 10 received 4 calls from these potential scammers
Every time I said not interested , do not call again. With in one hour they called back. Probably called from India, or that part of the world. Could barely understand them.
Got call from this number at 8:47 a.m. I answered it only to have to wait several seconds for someone to come on the line. Hard to understand Indian speaking person saying they're calling about my computer. I hung up on him. Same number called again at 10:06 a.m. I didn't answer. No message left.
