Madeline, I also received a call from this number (reading "Detroit Lake, MN" on caller ID) but did not pick it up. In the past I have received the "Microsoft Support" obviously phony phone call from other phone numbers, and did a little research on it. This is a scam to scare you and urge you to allow them to gain access to your computer, so they can create problems on it that they want to charge $ (i.e., a ransom) before they fix it. So understand that this bad language fellow was not trying to make a legitimate sale, and he will not lose his job because he is not operating on behalf of a legitimate business. These are the worst of the worst.
