Told me they were calling from Microsoft Windows update to tell my my computer was reporting errors trying to update Windows, trying to get me to go to my computer so they could fix it?

I answered and he told me something about my computer was messing up and they needed to fix it. I knew from the getgo that this was a scam, so I asked what company he was with and he said "Windows Updates". He kept asking for information about my computer and I told him I was uncomfortable with this conversation and hung up.

I don't know what information they wanted or how they were going to use  it, but I wasn't going to bite either way!!

Just got a call from this number saying his name was Peter and that my computer wasn't responding to Windows Updates.  I told him that my computer updated just fine last night thank you and don't call my number again.

Thanks for the info. Just received the phone call on my cellular.  I only answered cause they keep callilng.  I told them to tell me which computer and they couldn't tell me started trying to say a lot of stuff. Figure it was some kind of scam. Do these people ever stop?

I have no idea how they got my cellular number, but they are wasting their time calling.  I will report on the no-call list, but that does not seem to work well since I've put numerous messages on the list.

has called 10 times in 1 hour no message left

I got a call from these criminals today.  A man with an Indian accent claimed to be a generic-sounding computer tech support company, and that they got my name and number from the ISP -- not likely under the ISP's privacy policy.  They wanted to fix my computer over the phone.  I had some fun with them for a while because I was driving, but when I got to my destination revealed that I work in tech support and that was the end of the call.

P.S. this site's reporting interface needs a "Call Type" of "Scam/criminal" as one of the options.

this is so annoying to get calls like this they drive me nuts they want to fix my computer um guess what i can fix it myself lol scammer

If this is the same "computer repair" call that all these other people are getting, the claim to have gotten your phone number from the ISP is a load of bull.  Everything we have is registered under my husband so in no way should they be calling me.

i just make tem sound stupid by saying i have a MAC they just hang up,lol  its impossible to report these people because they don't use real number sand they keep changing and they sometimes use Skype numbers. just don't ever fall for these calls theres also another one going around now saying theer is something wrong with your modem and they want to book an apointmet to send out a tech guy to put in a new one. don't fall for that its a scam and they get into your house and turn your modem off and hijack your internet until you witch over to their service.

I would love to get this call. I would just direct them to the main police department!  I feel sad that some people are so duh,yes me, when it comes to tech stuff.
  To clarify, I am one of those  duh people,I just  have a son that does everything for me.
