Caller contacted me on my my cell number, so likely autodialer vs using white page listings.
Caller had thick Indian(?) accent and was clearly calling from a very busy call center. Call was unsolicited.
The man stumbled over his "script," but wanted to verify that I was the owner or primary user of "the computer." On the off chance that he was responding to some actual technical support issue, I asked him exactly what issue he was calling about.
He immediately started up reading a script about how some people were ending up with different kinds of malicious software without their knowledge. He claimed that they were calling me for a "courtesy check."
I threw the "BS Flag" on that play and told him to just stop, that I was not goiung to give them access to my computer or download any products. I told him to put my number on their "Do Not Call List."
Despite this clearly being a call from a shady operation, I will say that he was at least very polite.
