I believe that this is just a scam.
I received this call from this number telling me that it was from the office of Charlie Williams from Windows. He left a number for me to call back because my computer was sending out warning reports. He said that he was an investigator with security. He said that if I did not respond that it would be turned over to the court system. This was a scam. He even gave me a case number. But the week before this call, I got a message on the answering machine that my internet would be shut down in 24/48 hours if I did not call some number. That was a scam. This phone number left on the answering machine is from Florida. I did not call this number and I did report this call to the FTC.
The FTC received 4 complaints about 855-204-4441. Every complaint identified the call as a robocall or recorded message. The most recent complaint was filed on February 6, 2018. All 4 complaints were reported from Florida. All complaints originated from Orlando.

I received this call at my work number from someone alleging to be Officer Charlie Williams. The caller advised me to call back because my computer was sending out warning reports. He said that he was an investigator with security. He said that if I did not respond that it would be turned over to the court system. I was given a case number but could not catch what it was. The caller left the phone number 855-204-4441; however, my work phone tracks actual numbers so it showed 410-953-8200. I googled the 410 number which shows as the number for the MD State Police and the website reflects a scam going on. I decided to make a complaint to the FTC and would encourage anyone else receiving these calls to do the same. They better not call back because if they do I will also answer my work phone and have some fun with this enterprising asshole who wants to prey on people.
