Who called from 3171824832

Caller with distinct South-Asian accent offering to provide over-the-phone computer support.  Claimed to be from Windows Technical Support.

Note that no US telephone exchanges start with '1', so the caller-id information is clearly spoofed.

This is some kind of fraudulent operation.  Third call from them this week, all reported to both the FCC and FTC.

Don't be such a dick.

They DO NOT have your ip address. They want you to give it to them so they can install "hostage ware" on your system to lock it up & force you to pay them to release it. Thieving scammers. Hang up on them or just don't answer them at all

Caller from Windows saying I have error message. SAm I sitting in front of computer now. Said I would not give any information. She wanted to ping my computer. I said no. and she hung up.

Had the same experience but it was a male voice that sounded Jamaican.  Also told me about pop-ups and that there was a security threat to my computer.  He claimed to be from the Windows technical authorized department.
