Our company's IT administrator even gets these calls on his cell phone while driving. It is all just a scam, nothing to do with your real computer -- unless you make a mistake and let them remotely connect.

If you just start hanging up on them, they will probably downgrade you to a "Call now and then" list and eventually they will stop. I think it is unlikely that they are calling because they get notified when you start your system, it is probably just coincidence, but it can't hurt to do a full virus and malware scan if you feel strongly that they are somehow being notified. They are going to try to call when they think they are most likely going to get a human being answering. In general, I don't play along with any scammers or spammers, even when it is tempting. At the very least, you may indicate to them that you are worth contacting again, and you could give information to them without meaning to.

So far,every call, which are probably two or three dozen by now, have all been from people with thick accents from some far away place. I knew these guys were up to no good, but I would like to get rid of them calling me. Thought when I change systems, I would sease getting these calls. Not so. I have Software to rid my system of viruses and Malware, but still these folks keep calling. Anyone here find a solution to stop these people from calling? I have started to play along to see what they will do. Even I need entertainment. But, I am getting bored and they amazingly seem to really get upset when they find out I've been playing them along. totally halairious at times, but now I really just need to stop the calls. Anyone have good advice?
