claimed to be microsoft help desk answering a report of log-on issues.  Problem is that I had not reported any issues

Scammer claiming to be Windows Service Desk. Similar call recently attacked my Pastors computer. He let them into computer without knowing. I told guy I don't have a Windows computer and slammed the phone. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE GUYS. THEY ARE CROOKS AND ONLY WANT ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER AND PASSWORDS. THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH YOUR COMPUTER. THEY ARE LYING.

Thank you for this info. Just blocked this number

Same scam different spoofed number, I received two calls earlier from a similar number with a different area code but same last digits. A man with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be "technical support" they're spoofing numbers which means they can make the caller ID show whatever name and number they want an trying to get access to your computer by overriding and hacking. Just hang up on them or better yet don't answer the phone cause that will just make them call all day and night.

Or some kind of magic jack phone numbers, They are relentless. Keeps calling every hour!

Yep Yep,
