I called the number back, a recorded message comes on from Dwight Duncan, Minister of Finance. The message states they will be calling again at 8pm on Tuesday and you are asked to stay on the line and participate in the budget disucssions....

I just got a call.  Didn't answer it.  My tactic now is if I don't recognize the number, I am no longer answering.  I am glad I didn't after reading this.  I too received two back to back calls.  I didn't answer either.  The 1st call although it showed up as a local number, it rang like it was long distance, which is why I didn't answer.  A few seconds later, the 2nd call came in; again from the 2nd number but this time it rang in like it was local.  Very strange.

no one ther when answered.

If you answer this phone number, simply say "bite me" and hang up.  If it calls back, just unplug the phone.  Don't give these slime the satisfaction.  As to blocking the number...you have my well wishes.  These slimes call from a thousand different numbers, few of which are "real".  Why is it a 416 area code but he's really calling from Microsoft (trust me, they aren't in Toronto, hell not even in Canada...try Virginia)?  It's because it's either rerouted or a completely fake number.  So block it all you want, but the next time you get a call from this slime it'll likely be a different one altogether.  The police can't help.  Dwight can't help.  Microsoft, with more money and clout than most countries can't stop these slimes.  
Actually, other than "hang up", you might want to try my tactic.  Ensure you have an airhorn (if you don't want to invest in one, use a smoke alarm and use the "test button"), handy by the phone and when it turns out to be one of these slimes wanting to scam you, let them have it right in the receiver.  Deafened people rarely call me back.  You will likely find they will be less likely to call you too.  And that goes for all the scammers out there.  I find it gets me on their "do not call lists" very quickly.

Got a call from these people today as well.  I highly recommend the call screening (call blocking) service available from some providers - these people will not get through to my number again.

Received a call from this number. A male withh a thick Indian accent proceeded that he was Windows Support and that they had been receiving a lot of alerts both yellow and red coming from my "wiindows operating system." I had heard about this scam so I proceeded to tell him that I don't own a computer with windows but I do use a MAC. I actually just use a laptop provided to me by my employer. The guy was stumped. I swore at him to never "F****** call me again." Two minutes later I received a call from the same number. A different man proceeded to ask me "why did you abuse my son?" I told him that if he is referring to the person who just called me about my computer I told him not to call me again. He called me an "a******" and proceeded to verbally abuse me. I was so angry that it became a shouting match. Finally, when I threatened to call the police he told me he was the police and that they were monitoring my calls. He hung up on me. I attempted to call back and speak to someone, anyone  who I could report this call to but of course I got a busy signal.Will be calling the police and filiing a report. I wll try to post the results back here.. If you receive a call from (416) 613-8076 it's a scam. Hang up!!!!!
