I told this person (also with a very heavy Indian accent -- and this bogus phone number) that I would take legal action against his company connected with this phone number -- IF he did not immediately remove my number from their call list. Along with the other things as the others said of him saying my computer being hacked, that they were Cyber Securities "calling on behalf of Microsoft". Then he claimed it was the GOVERNMENT (i.e., the U.S. Government) who was ORDERING him to call me. Then when I told him I'd take legal action against his company -- he then really blew me up, for he stated, "If you don't want us to use your number, then you must be one of the hackers." I said, "LIAR! Remove my number immediately -- and hang up!" He only persisted! So, I hung up, and I want to report this number, that company and those employees -- for this must be some sort of a scam. I do wish a U.S. Government official would get to the bottom of this and call them (for I know they can get past the inability to call that number) -- and follow out to the logical end what the scam actually is -- and prosecute that lying company. They had called many, many times before, and I had refused to answer, but I finally wanted to have it out with them, so I answered, and the above was the result. Let's find a way to stop those people!
I got the same call...and the guy even quoted my address. I told him I don't own a computer (even though I do). He was quite persistent; I told him to mail me the information, and I hung up on him. Very heavy Indian accent.
If these scammers are from India, I hope that Pakistan blows them off the map.

If they are based in the USA, track them down and shut down their operations. We csan do it; we have the NSA, and it knows everything about every call ever made, so it obviously knows about this.
This number just called my house phone.. The caller ID said TECH. I didn't bother answering since I knew it was going to be one of those calls where someone would claim that I had a virus on my computer and would make me go to some website just to get my computer infected with one. I already had another number call my house doing the same thing a few weeks ago.
One day, I think I will answer answer the next time they call and tell them off, but for now, I'm just going to not answer the phone if I know it's a number I don't recognize.
