Anytime someone calls you about your computer that's not your internet provider is a scam!  They want too get into your computer take it over and then lock it.  Once it's locked they demand you send money too them to unlock it and that's the way the scam works.

They have called me so many times, it is annoying.
It is a scam from India, and therefore we cannot block or reject their number.
They must buy their marketing list here, because they know my name too.
I called my phone company and was advised to report them to the FTC and I did.
Here is the number for the FTC: 877-382-4357

Have received calls from this number repeatedly and no one speaks when I answer-total harassment and I am on the do not call list

It's still worthwhile to report these scams to the FTC, because you occasionally see articles like this:

Or this, in another common scam:
Call centre debts scam lifts lid on India?s outsourcing business

"Call centre operators in India pretended to be debt collectors to extort millions of dollars from unwitting Americans in a phone scam that has raised new questions about the oversight of India?s growing outsourcing business.  David Vladeck, director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection at the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), described the scam, which was overseen by American Credit Crunchers, a US company based in California, as a 'brazen operation based on pure fraud'."

Of course, had we heeded the earlier warnings of the Communications Workers of America about outsourcing call centers, we would have less of a problem with these things today:

Short answer, yes. The US has no legal jurisdiction in India. Short of banning their products, denying their citizens entry into the US, forbidding US Companies to do business with them, recalling our embassador, kicking there's out of the country, etc. That's about it.

This Indian telemarketer was making a cold call claiming to be from IT Solutions. When I asked to be put on their Do Not Call list, he said he couldn't do so, then started making inappropriate sexual comments that had my blood boiling! Just because they're in Indian, does that mean they can make phone calls equivalent to a sexual assault and get away with it? The person in question should at least be fired, but should be put in jail.

These are scum sucking criminals. There is no way that they can trace error messages from your PC and know what your phone number is. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR SCAM!

I do have one question for these scum sucking filthy untouchables, "Jab tu paida hua tho aagey se ya peechey se nikla tha chutiya?"

I received this call supposedly from Microsoft.  The said it was an error message they were receiving from my computer.  They wanted to take over control of my computer to fix it.  Must be a scam!

They said it was an emergency call from Microsoft support.
