A Year???? No, it's been going on for a decade. If the phone companies can tell the NSA if we are getting calls from a suspected terrorist, they can identify these scammers. The PHONE COMPANIES MUST BE MAKING MONEY FROM THIS!!!  I asked once how to get a "switch number" and they would not tell me.

Pakistan man asking me about my computer! When I said I didn't have one, he hung up!

Silence followed by a robotic "goodbye"
Could it be any more annoying?
Can this number be shut off?

Fake tech support scam.

They just called so I answered. They told me that I need to get on my computer because it wasn't receiving updates. Then I told them which computer. They told me it didn't matter which computer it was. He was fast, force full, foreign and sound like they might have been from Indiana. I told her that I did not like the tone of her voice plus I really couldn't understand her because she talked too fast. I asked if I could  speak to some one with an accent like mine.
