Just got a call, said they were from microsoft, wanted me to log on to my computer so they could fix my problem. I told him I knew this was a SCAM, he hung up on me....ha

Just received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent calling from 1-800-333-7883.  He told me he was calling me because I own a Windows laptop and I have downloaded "the virus".  I asked what company he was from and he told me it was Masse Lisa.  He refused to provide his name or the name of the company.  I advised him I was on the National DNC list and he kept telling me I had a virus and need to give him certain information.  I hung up on him.

Answered to dead air, then an electronic voice said "goodbye".  What absolute non sense.

just a call from this #, let the answering machine get it and some lady just kept saying hello?, hello?

A Google look-up indicates that the phone number is registered in India.  No message.  Blocked.

I am on both the totally worthless national and Florida DNC lists.  I bought a $60 Panasonic KX-TG6841B Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System with Handset from Adorama, which has blocking capacity of 250 numbers.  I do not answer my phone unless I recognize the number or they leave a recognizable message and have blocked over 100 numbers in just a few months - that's an average of two numbers every three days - and it is not even the political season yet.  The system also blocks calls from phone number "1" which cannot be recorded on this site and has so far called me 6 times.

I have no horse in the race of trying to sell call blocking devices - other than to put these telemarketing a-holes out of business.

More proof that telemarketers are hypocritical pond scum...
