I keep receiving calls from an organization that claims to be Microsoft Windows. They have very heavy accents and say that your computer has been hacked and if you don't perform certain updates to your computer (which they want to walk your through), your computer will stop working in 20-30 days. I asked them for a callback number and was given (206) 456-1147. When I told them that I work in IT and that what they were telling me didn't make sense, they hung up on me. Unfortunately I'm getting a least one call per day from them (so far 8 calls over the last week). If you have caller ID, the number will show as all 0000's or sometimes it will even show as your own number (don't know how they did that). The main thing is that caller ID never displays a valid number for them when they call. Does anyone know how to put a stop to these calls?
