Suspected scam - something about license verification and asked if I was in front of my "windows computa" - could barely understand the foreign woman calling... when I said "what computer?" she didn't seem to understand me and repeated
"a windows computa" again. I hung up then but I should have played along a little while to see what they would try to pull.
Caller ID said "40 North"... It came at just about 8:00 AM June 23, 2014.
(Don't give these people control of your computer or you could end up with viruses or paying a ransom to get your data unlocked!)
Have gotten several calls from them, the first after I had had a problem with my computer that resolved itself, and I said there was no problem. (The caller, also a foreign woman started off by saying they were calling about my computer problem.) Nothing until earlier in the week. Got a call at 8 am Monday, told them not to call back; got a call at 6:58 am on Tuesday, and a few calls that I missed while not at home. Last night, when I answered the phone (sometimes I don't get a voice), and got a male with a foreign accent with the same spiel, I said, "I have reported you to the FTC" (which I had and I highly recommend it at ftc.gov), I got an immediate dial tone. Hoping this ends the calling. And that the FTC tracks them down.
They just called here at 714 am. Who the hell do they think they are! I told this foreign woman that I had no computers (lied) to go to hell and hung up on her.
They called me at 7:40am on 6/24/14. Said there was a problem with my windows operating system. I know this scam but I played along and then told him to jump out of a window. These people all need to die!
