I just received a call from this number.  I immediately told him I didn't call them and I was on the do not call list and he hung up on me. The number is now on my reject list. I wish people would get real jobs and stop trying to scam honest working people.

First off Guys & Gals, while the area code indicates it originated in NY; 'Forget about it'....  It's a 'spoofed' number, probably from somewhere in the Caribbean!  Those of you that let the calls roll to your answering machine, voicemail or worse yet answered the call you have just ensured you will receive more of these calls.  Maybe not from the same number, but they’ve just identified your number as valid which assures more calls of these 'faux telemarketer calls'.  (I call them faux telemarketer calls as they are generally not legitimate telemarketers, but simply scams!)  Most of the initial calls originate from software (aka; ‘robocalls’) – once your number is identified as active, then a real person may be there on the follow up calls.
If you have the capability to ‘BLOCK’ the number that called – that is the best of not the only action.
If you don’t have a blocking option, keep a phone with caller ID close by and simply hit ‘talk’ and ‘off’ simultaneously.  This will reduce the number of nuisance calls, but not stop them.
If you really want to block them – in addition to a number of cordless phones available there is software that a layman can install.
So the message is simple – blocking works….  I seldom have a second call from a given number.  But, when I do - I love it when "Number Blocked" shows on my 'Caller ID!!!  (When they call repeatedly it causes me to wonder about how stupid some of these dummies really are!)
The Area Code, Exchange or even the entire number displayed on your caller ID probably does not accurately reflect the origin of a call as many of these crooks use software that disguises the originating number.  (I've actually seen numbers reflecting my own Area Code and Exchange)  The entire spoof and scam call process is not costing the phone providers a cent - if it was, they would be on the governments case to get them stopped!
PS:  I think Call Notes should add a 'Call Type' for 'Spoof' or 'Scammer Calls'!

Received 2 calls today from the thick accented foreigner telling me to give him my Microsoft password "right now". I asked why and he said if I didn't, my computer would crash. When I said NO - he cussed me & hung up,

Rec'd call, barely able to understand him (east indian accent).  Says rec'd error report from windsows.  Can't provide me computer alias or IP address that it was rec'd from.  I asked for his direct ph#, he says should be on caller ID, told him I need him to provide and he gives me this # - 347.205.0202 which registers as a brooklyn cell phone.  He also says his address is 90 broad street, nyc which is a popular financial district.  I told him to hold on and I would get logged on so we could fix it and then just left him there until he hung up.

I got the call on my dumb phone, but didn't answer it. Will now block it with the silent ring.
