Called claiming to be Miss Barbara from Bank of America and they have a check in my name. Lucky me! Too bad it was such a horrible connection and I wasn't sure of the number I was supposed to call back.
Caller ID came up with ILink Communica... don't know it didn't answer & they did NOT leave a message. Tired of these BS calls coming into the office even with the number registered on the DNC.
Caller ID says ILINK Communications. Man with a very thick Hindi accent says his company has been notified by Microsoft that someone has hacked into our computer at home and that the hacker left software that affects both the software and hardware of my machine. I asked which machine and he mumbled something about a Vista machine. Only one pc in this house runs Vista and it is only used to get Kaspersky anti-virus updates and then shut down (it's my wife's machine and she never uses it.) THEN he asked if all of the computers in the house use the same link to the Internet. Duh. So he says they much check EVERY machine, and that he will transfer me to a Microsoft employee to tell me what I need to do. I then asked him about ILINK Communications and his originating phone number in California and he hung up. I tried to call-back but the phone number on the caller ID must have been bogus.
We need a law making it a felony to provide a bogus caller ID and making it a requirement that anyone calling into a home to solicit (for profit and non-profit purposes) to present their identity on the caller id.
