What they are doing is tantamount to extortion unless you "cooperate". Let them know you are aware they are running a scam and have alerted the authorities. If that does not work, have your phone number changed to an unpublished one.
I received a call from this # today. He said that I was having problems with my computer and that he was from microsoft. he seem very urgent and wanted me to go to my computer.
my caller id said Positive Energy 1-856-200-8080
I asked him for a call back # he gave me 1-855-731-4936 I think he said his name was Kevin he was very hard to understand.
I have had this kind of call before and I would never give them information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They called one morning at 9am. I was running late to take my child to school. It was very difficult to get them off the phone. They said something was wrong with windows on my computer. Told them I didn't have time. I had to be aggressive to get off the phone. They called back Saturday morning at 8:13am. I was not pleased with this early call. They claimed it was important. Hung up on them. They called back at 9:41am. I had a yelling match with them then hung up. They called back at 9:44am demanding an apology for disrespecting them. They threatened to keep on calling unless I apologize.
Is this harassment legal? Is there a way to stop these people from calling? I find it disturbing that these lunatics have access to my number to harass me as they please. These call centres should be eliminated.

I just received a call from this number also...from William Lee or at least that's what I think he said through his very thick accent. Also told me that he was calling from Windows Support and something about how they have been receiving reports from my computer and being hacked or some such nonsense...He started to tell me about going to me computer, I told him I wasn't near my computer and I needed a number to call him back, he gave me 416-905-3536.
I checked here first...I'm not calling back.
