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.

They are calling again, with the same lines just a new number, 201-200-9999. If I don't answer, they call with the number blocked. If I do answer they try to tell me that I owe debt and if I don't pay it the legal team will have no option but to have the police come to my door and serve me with an arrest warrent. They also call using this number:973-735-5438. This time I told them that I knew it was a hoax, that I already reported it to my police department.
