received multiple calls from 212414155 which is short a digit. they said they were from Microsoft and advised me that I had something wrong with my computer. mind you I am a Microsoft engineer. at which time I told them that they were full of @@$@$. and that they were a son of a sheep hearer and took it up the @$@. they hung up and called back several time at which I advised them of there linage and told them to hang up which they did not so I left the phone sit so 10 minutes and checked to see if they were still on the line which they were this went on for over an hour when they finally hung up. Im really getting tired of these pain in the butts

just got a call as well 4/10/14 @ 12:52 pm. Chinese guy on the other end that kept asking me "ok?" after every sentence he said. I hung up on him and checked this site.

thank you all! just got a call from this number - and thanks to your comments - did not pick up!

Received a call from this number. I did not answer as it was one number short of a real phone number. I blocked it using Mr. Number. Thanks for all the comments.

I got one this morning to my cell voice mail.
As I listened to it, it was a guy with Chinese accent.  There were also a lot of other Chinese guys speaking in the background (sounded like they were suggesting to do this or do that ...).

Reading the threads, what is interesting about these calls (calls from this #) is that they are all happening during 2014. (during last 2 months..).

I wonder how they got my smart phone # though.  One thing I have been doing more frequently is that I have been downloading some game apps to my smart phone.. (some poker games, etc..).  I also installed BlueStacks (Android emulator in PC) last night to watch some smartphone internet news on my PC.  (This may require to sync my cell # to BlueStacks company or some other 3rd party).

My cell # is registered into "www.donotcall.gov" list.  I register once a year, but it seems like it isn't much effective after all.

Perhaps, if government can't do much about these guys, there should be a privatized company who can go after these guys.
I am sure they can make some big bucks !  I am willing to pay $10 per year subscription fee for a guarantee that I don't get any scam calls. Hey, Google, AT&T or any app. developers, here is a business idea for you.
