Scam. I don't usually answer calls from numbers I don't recognize, but I recently had made a new business connection with someone in this area code, so I took a chance and answered. Person (man with foreign, possibly Indian, accent) knew my name and asked if I lived at a certain address that was a residence of mine years ago. I asked, "Who is this?" and he launched into his song-and-dance about how my computer is showing up in his system as having some problem. Hung up and blocked the number.
Well, it is now 2016 and this number is continuing to show up on my phone. I'm just let it go to voice mail but they don't leave one. And the scam continues....
