Out of the blue, I got a call from this phone# a few minutes ago. I don't normally pick up the unknown#, but I was expecting my doctor call. So I picked it up and this person hesitated to speak. So I said, hello! and asking him who he was. He didn't tell me who he was, but he went straight to "Windows virus problems". I knew right away, "SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!" Once, I don't use Windows and second, my relative has been scammed recently by this kind of people for troubleshoot of Windows virus, but what they want is "your $$$ money". He sounds like India speaking accent. Anyway, I asked for his name and the phone# to call back but he hung up.

Yep...just got the "unavailable". Thanks 800Notes. This may be a new one, as I have over 100 blocked. From previous report, sounds like the old windows scam where they try to get you trick you into entering your password and giving them remote access .Then they can do whatever they want including ransomware. If it's legitimate, they will leave a message, and then you can check it out. .
Same thing as others have reported. Caller hesitated when I answered and said his name was "Sam" from Windows. Told him I wasn't interested and hung up. Checked 800notes and then blocked the number.
