Anyone else getting these computer maintenance calls

[Gunner]

I keep getting calls from 8669997740. Apparently it's some scam where they want to run a scan on your computer.

yep, indian speaking people from microsoft or the last one was google

[tim-adams]

total scam.. its to data mine you and get a CC# to hit you with a bogus fee..
or
they get you to go to a website to do a "free scan" that reports you need product X to remove a "virus" all for the low low cost of $Z
or
they get you to go to a website to do a "free scan" that really installs spamware, addware, with a bot controller... (this is bad, likely requires a full rebuild of C: t fix)

anytime I get calls like this I report them all, the AG's of america have an agreement where they will nuke the current PBX forwarding these calls..

Get 'em all the time. Usually start off with "I'm I hacked again... Even though I don't run any Windoze products?"
