called, answered, no response, finally a recorded message, "goodbye" and it disconnected me. I returned the call but the operator said "this number is not in service". it is a Long Island number, scammer. BEWARE!
Yup. Just got some call from "Ron" who sounded confused as to what he was holding in his hand. Indian accent, casually says he's "from Microsoft ok...about your computer." I said I don't have a computer and to take me off the list then I hung up and blocked the caller. Wish I would have thought quickly enough...If you get one of these you should bring up that it's a scam and question him and see what he says...
Based on the comments I am seeing, I believe the call is coming from overseas. The telemaggoter is either using caller ID spoofing or a VoIP like Magic Jack.
It is a scam. It is more than likely a spoofed number from overseas. I get a sense of satisfaction seeing the number come up on my TV saying "CALL BLOCKED" and never having the phone ring. May they live a life of miserable poverty in some godforsaken third world country.
