I, too, get calls from scammers claiming to be with Windows, Microsoft, or Dell saying that I have issues or viruses showing up on my computer and they want me to go onto my computer. I get these calls every time after I have called Dell Technical Support. The Dell technical support people that I get are always from India and have the same accent as these scammers that always start calling me several days later. Since this is such a common occurrence for me, I feel sure that the scammers are hackers of Dell's Technical Support customer info (one even told me my SVC tag number) or that our customer data is being sold to scammers there in India. This same scenario has occurred consistently over the last 3 yrs. So, for the last 10 days I have gotten daily calls from AVSC International 646-435-6135 claiming to be from Windows Support saying that they are getting notifications about problems on my computer, which is about right since I talked to Dell Technical Support 2 wks ago. If I accidentally pick up one of their calls, like I did today, I always tell them that I'm calling Dell's Technical Support back to see why they didn't fix my computer correctly and hang up.
