Just got a call from this number again asking to speak to the man of the house like the previous posters mentioned.  I said I don't want to talk to anyone selling anything.  They said this was a survery about recycling and I said no and hung up.  BS.  Block these POS's

My wife received one call where the person claimed to be from Microsoft, but failed to give his name.

They call and tell you your computer has been sending out spam emails. I assume this is a lead in to harvesting your email address or selling you a software package. I simply called him on his b***s*** about getting my number through my IP and I was disconnected.

CTV has carried a story in calgary about this one.  They are trying to get control of your computer and claiming that you contacted them for technical help.  it is a scam.  Go to CTV CAlgary and link to consumer rereports  (I donlt have it handy)  and they tell you all about these shysters.  simply ask them where they got this information and tell them you do not have a computer.  I told them they had reached the Microsoft help desk and how could i assis them.  the guy must have filled his pants!
