The hang up calls are to determine if someone answers the phone or not. Get call display (if you do not already have it) and DON'T answer any number that you don't recognize.
These scumbags are only after your credit card # and/or to gain access to your computer. Unfortunately, people must be falling for their scam or, it would not continue.
I have screamed at these people, threatened these people, insulted their mother's, blown a whistle into the phone, asked them to hang on and left the phone on the table ....... NOTHING stops them from calling. They have called up to 20 times in one day, in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening but it wasn't until they called me in the middle of the night, that I hit my level of now-you-really-pissed-me-off.
I now have call display and call block and I use both features freely. Off to call block 213-459-8159
Caller said she was calling to return money that had been charged to me by Microsoft for computer repairs.
I told her to shove whatever money she had for me up her [***]. She insisted she had money for me and
if I was in front of my computer she would show me how she would return it. I again told her to shove it and
hung up. She called back a minute later and started cussing me. Ha.
Computer connect to call center in likely in India. "Julia" stayed she was calling from windows bout my computer. Can't believe this scam is going strong.... Obviously fake caller ID
