We've had several calls from "Windows" and caller ID doesn't help because they've all come early in the morning. Last two times I told the caller (once a woman, other times men, all with accents) I was taping the call and would report them as fraud, also said DO NOT CALL ME AGAIN! To my great surprise, they haven't.

I have had this several times and hang up after they tell me what they want. And sometimes I don't even answer if I notice the no caller ID.
|
I have learned to let all "unknown caller" calls go to the answering machine, its easier to monitor that way

Caller ID didn't give a phone number--only an Unknown Caller and Private Number. Has anyone else had a call like this. I hung up and the guy called again--and again said he was from Windows, etc. I told him I would call the company that I bought my computer from and hung up. I believe this is a scam but hadn't heard anything about this from anyone else.:mad:

I let my answering machine get my calls. If someone wants to talk, they holler at me to pick up the phone. Anyone one I want to talk with has my cell number. I don't answer it if I don't recognize the number.

I either let it go to voicemail or hit ignore. Which takes them to my voicemail. My cousin has a voicemail that says" If your number showed up restricted or unknown and you don't leave a message then tough sh**, Sherlock!" I think it'sfunny!

I had a call from "Windows".... My computer was sending out damaging ( or something like that) data... I stopped them there and said "I have an Ipad". They hung up. I do have a windows machine but it hasn't been on for a month. I do primarily use Ipad
|
A scam. I had that call and I let him go on and I finally said "that's odd because I have a Mac". Quick hang up on his part!!
|
My friend has been getting this call. Says his name is 'Parker', foreign accent. They call the phone company and reported it so they didn't get charges. IT IS A SCAM. She will be reporting it to the attorney general.
