was a robocall from a scammer claiming to be with microsoft.  Idiots cant tell the difference between an answering machine and a live person. It said press one.  Never press anything.

These people are idiots.  At least once a week a get a call from a different number and they all say the same thing.  I have a problem with my windows computer.  I usually play along for a while before telling them I run Linux, or Solaris, or HP-UX, or AIX, or QNX - really any of the unix based flavored OS's...  They tell me I am wrong and then get mad when I tell them I do not have a Windows keyboard or a start menu...  They get even more upset when I ask them what the script tells them to say when they find out I am not running Windows...  They swear and hang up.  

Sad really because I know there are a lot of people that would fall for this scam, and there is nothing we can do except for report them - but nothing is ever done to find these people and charge them with criminal mischief.

7/14/2014 @ 8:25pm. I just received a call from 415-111-2000. I received one yesterday around the same time. There is an automated message stating there is a problem with our computer and to press 1 to speak to a Microsoft Engineer. I do not have a computer connected to the internet. Ibviously it is bogus. There should be some way to shut these callers down!

My computer is generating. . .  Then I hung up. CallerID says name unavailable.

Couple years ago they scammed me for $300.  Now they must think I've forgotten as calling me again.  I've reported them but there is nothing that can be done as apparently they are based in India
