Have you had to deal with this scammy phone call?

I received a very unusual and scammy phone call today. The man on the other end didn’t speak English well at all which made it really hard to understand him. He kept wanting me to go to my computer and log on because, “your Windows programme is sending thousands of e-mails to my company”. He declined to give me the name of the company or pass the phone to his manager. When I asked for his name and phone number he hung up on me.

Then I got a call 20 minutes later from a new phone number and it was the same guy. By this time I had already called my ISP and asked them about the situation and they confirmed it is a scam. I told the guy to leave me alone and if he called back I would do everything in my power to find out who he was and I would turn that information over to the authorities.

What worries me is what would have happened if my kids had picked up the phone.

Have you ever receive a call like this? What did you do?
