Call from Microsoft, claimed to be in CA, stated that the ports on the firewall had allowed some malware to take over and that my home business records were stolen. If I gave them my credit card number, they would get on my computer and fix the problem. When I said to give me the phone number to call them back , that I didn't have my credit card in my desk, they finally gave me this number. There is no answer when I call back. The man's name was Sam Williams.

They phone MANY times per month. I've gotten to the point where I imitate them and have told them to stop phoning me and stop scamming innocent old ladies from their retirement money.

up on ME."
If anyone has their fax number, let me know .... I'll send them 50-page blank fakes all day long. Or try to sell THEM something - maybe JESUS. Ha! I'll phone them all day long - ha!!
Call from 'windows support' saying a windows computer had a virus. Centre said was from Brooklyn NY. Wanted my CC number to remedy the problem. After a few questions the caller hung up on me. I tried to sell him my 'windows' computer.
