Person with strong accent asked if he was talking with some name, not mine. I said it was a wrong number and then he wanted to talk with the person responsible for my computer. He said that he had been affected by some type of very serious problem, and implied he was calling from Microsoft. He asked me to turn on my computer, at which point I told him not to call again and hung up. I've received one more call that I did not answer.
i am from another state and i get 1-201-200-9999 calling me all the time. I called an operator and she told me if u call the # back and says its disconnected its usually a pay. I never answered it. Now i c I am not yhe only one. Dont answer them. SCAMS

Me: "No, DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN or I will sue you (he hung up before I delieved the part about filing a law suit)
Just got a call from "Alvin" (heavy Indian accent) saying they were from "Fed Ex" calling to verify my address for a package to be shipped. I am not expecting any packages, and Fed Ex has delivered many packages in the past without incident.
Within 5 minutes "Alvin" called back to try to milk me for more info and got a nice piece of his [***] chewed for calling in spite of my number being on the do not call registry.
