This one's slick, I actually thought there was a live person on the line. I could hear him flipping the pages of paper he was reading and I was all set to "play" with the caller when I realized that it was a recording. I wish I had a nickel for each time he said "...uh..."

You're doing a great job. In relation to your call from the "Computer Maintenance" department (early September 2013), I have one additional detail for you: I've gotten repeated calls from him and his buddies (they always have an Indian accent, and have different names for the department and/or company each time), but in my case, they've always started out explaining that they've gotten error reports from my Windows computer - what's problematic (among other things) is that I don't have, and never have had, a Windows computer. Go figure!
"Senior Alert" shows up on caller id. I reversed the number and found it is the Callerid4u. I also got 3 other telemarketing calls with different caller id yesterday and all show up to be from the Callerid4u group. We need to flood the FTC with complaints about this group.
