Got 2 calls from this number today. PIcked up the first time, but nobody there. Picked up the second time and a male introduced himself (I didn't catch the name he used) and said he was calling on behalf of Windows about my computer.
I laughed at him and said "oh, so you're a scammer?" He said "No, I'm a hacker, not a scammer." Then it was almost like he thought I'd keep talking to him because he started to go on. I just said "Oh, ok. Well take me off your list because I'm not talking to you guys." He responded by trying to sound ominous saying "No, I am not going to take you off the list, I am going to keep your number." I just sat there quiet for a few seconds to see if he'd keep talking and he hung up.
I guess it's good to know that at least he's honest about being a hacker. But anybody that gets a call from this number should not pick up or give them any info. They're going to try and remotely log-in to your machine and extort you for money or something very similar.
