Received multiple calls from 408-256-9856 telling me there is a problem with my computer.

Same here.  Been calling nearly every day for weeks; finally answered today.  Kept him on the line for nearly 5 minutes.  I'm in IT and savvy.  How do we keep dillwads like this from preying on our Mothers?

I just received a call from this number. He had a African accent and said he was from Microsoft and that unknown computers were connecting to my computer & server and that would really "cost up". I made him repeat himself 3 times and he started to yell his scam at me. I told him I would call Microsoft myself. Then he hung up. Careful folks. This is the second such call I've gotten in the past couple months. I wish I could get my number back from where ever dark place on the internet it is circulating.

I get calls about once a week from these posers acting like Dell Support trying to convince me something is wrong with my computer. I often will answer if I have time and proceed to act like I'm none the wiser and act like I'm fumbling about on my computer trying to do as they ask. Merely trying to find out what exactly they are trying to accomplish while wasting enough of their time that they eventually remove my number from their directory. What a-holes!

Received a call from this number stating they were from dell windows department, problem with my computer, accent of another country, hung up on him. These people are calling every day.
