What kind of imbeciles call a number at 5 in the morning? Knowing that even my own family would not call in an emergency at that hour, I didn't answer! They called again at 7:10 a.m. No message, of course...and "unknown" on cid.
They called us twice this morning, the first at 6:47 a.m. I answered the 3rd call. They said it was Windows Technical Support, I told them they were a scam and were calling at 6:47 a.m. and they hung up before I could finish the statement!
