Just got a call from this number, could barely understand the guy. Caller ID said it was from Washington, but my phone usually gives me the city and state. He asked for me by my married name, however I have been divorced for 3 years and there is nothing connecting me to that old name. These people must have old information from which they call people.
Got a call from this number, claiming to be from "Windows Support". Clearly offshore (sounded Indian.) He could barely speak English. I told him that Microsoft does make unsolicited calls to users, but allowed him to continue. In his badly fractured English he warned me that my computer might have a virus. At this point I tired of listening to the scam, so I firmly advised him that I am a software engineer, I probably know a lot more about system security than he does, and my system is very thoroughly protected so I do not need his services. Asked him to add me to their do not call list. I doubt he understood anything I said.
Hint: If you want to try to scam me, at least use someone who speaks English well enough to conduct a basic conversation. Otherwise you are just insulting my intelligence and p*ssing me off.
The person who called more than once could hardly speak English and would not identify the name of his company. He keeps using generic names like '24 'Hour Support Company' or ''PC Support Company". I am registered on the Canadian do not call list and would love to get the name of the company so i can report them.
The worst part is that they call me early in the morning and late at night.
