These idiots don't give up:  404-636-6205  Didn't recognize the number & haven't answered but they call 2 -4 times daily. Can't wait to answer the phone when they call back, I'm going to be such a bad, terrible, listener and bad on instructions I am going to drive them crazy and hope they hang up and never call back.  Love it when I can get back at these idiots, and I remember my own rule, no longer than 3 minutes...just to make sure they don't get access.  Good info on Microsoft scammers posted earlier and here it is:  https://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

WL Hockett is my deceased father and 4046366205 is a residential land line belonging to my family for over 50 years.  The caller ID has been spoofed by scammers representing themselves as Microsoft or Dell.  I am incensed that some [***] are scamming ppl in my father's name.  He was an honorable man. If you get a call please call the Consumer Protection Agency at 4046518600 and reference #374830 When they receive enough info about these calls they will take it to the FTC to attempt to track the source.

If true, that your family phone number has been spoofed, it might be better for you to keep your name private on this and other forums until the matter can be resolved.  Confirming that your name is associated with a scam, no matter how strong the denial, strikes me as unwise.
