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!

Here is the story about the computer scam artistshttp://calgary.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNew ... hub=CalgaryHome

put (403) 686-4456 on your "do not call" list forever  Thanks

Called my cell, told them where to go and how to get there... Funny how fast they hang up.

These ppl keep on calling my house everyday for the past week during work hours asking for the man of the house and if I say nom then they ask for the women. I ask if they want to leave a message, then the man said he'll call back and I got angry and told him no they keep on calling me and he deined it. I keep on telling them to stop calling me but they wont. If you try to dail the number you get no ring tone then the line goes dead.
