Rang three times and hung up. Caller I.D. says "Dianne Morrow", but when I google the number it belongs to some outfit in Loma Linda, CA named "Repo Marketing" who claims to be a home builder. Looks pretty suspicious to me. Anyone else?

Caller ID said Diane Morrow. The caller was male, with an Indian accent, and said something about calling my computer. I'm sorry I don't have the exact details, but I knew it was a scam and wasn't paying attention. I told him not to call me again.
Caller ID said 909-799-3700 with no name. It was doubtlessly spoofed and of little value.
Some Indian cow humper was telling me that my computer was hacked. Claimed that he could show me that he was legit by going to a command prompt and using the ASSOC command. He knew a 32 character string near the end of the list that he claimed was a unique ID for my computer. It's a well known scam technique. See http://www.welivesecurity.com/2014/05/22/support-scam-using-ms-dos-attack/
I've since checked another computer and the string was identical so it's just B.S. I kept asking questions and they kept switching me to other people. They claimed to be with Ultra Soft Solutions, located in New York and they were calling from Los Angeles. I asked who the president of Ultra Soft was and he, surprisingly, got pissed - saying that I didn't need to know. Ultra Soft has a web site that looks legit, though a bit vague on specifics. Whois says that Ultra Soft is registered by Nishan Pau in Kolkata, India. That's Calcutta. The British changed it from Kolkata decades ago and Indian nationalists are trying to rid themselves of their British colonial legacy by changing it back. You can piss them off by insisting that it's Calcutta. In any event, they were trying to get me to download an executable file that doubtless would do nasty things to my computer when run. After the third humper couldn't get anywhere with me, he got nasty and claimed that he was going to do various unmentionable things to my balls - his accent was so thick and he was speaking so fast that it was hard to follow. I told him that I was shaking in my boots, at which point he hung up.
I just received (3-6-2017) a call from 909-799-3700. The caller I.D. showed a name of Diane Morrow. The male caller sounded like he was from India. He said my computer had been hacked and that he needed me to go to my computer so I could input information he had so I could verify that my computer was hacked. I said no thanks, I would check my computer without his assistance. Also, he said he was calling from Los Angeles. This was definitely some type of scam.
