I just received a call from "Rhode Island Directory" as it stated and the number was 401-555-777. They had Indian accents and were claiming that I had some Windows 32 issue....I KNOW my computer is FINE, and when I said that I was on the National DO NOT Call list which prohibited them from making marketing or solicitous calls to my home, he tried to tell me that he was calling because of my computer (???)....In the background as I argued to take me OFF OF THEIR CALLING LIST IMMEDIATELY, another voice came on and said, "hurry up and just hang up" also with a thick accent. I put the number in Bing and it came up that this ABSOLUTELY is a telephone scamming ring from India that tries to claim they are with Microsoft, and try to CONVINCE YOU to allow access remotely to your computer to assess the problem. ONCE YOU DO, they install a virus that sits in the back and steals your information. OH, and then they CHARGE you for the service call........HANG UP everyone. It has made the rounds in the UK and Australia and apparently it is now operating here........JUST A HUGE HEADS UP FOR YOU ALL!
