Joe R's profile and activity

Yep...got this one too. Actually twice today.

Didn't answer and just blocked them, but if this is the person(s) I think it is, it is a well-worn scam to get control of your computer.

The culprits are generally overseas but have a US number. What they do is scare people into thinking there is something wrong with the computer and ask for remote access. Then they install tracking software or ransom-ware. After that, they have control and charge you to get your computer back.

As with any call, the phone is for your convenience, the answering machine is for the caller. If the caller won't leave a message, it is 99% likely they do not have your best interests in mind.

I never answer the phone anymore if the number is not already in my address book with a name. it is good rule to go with. If people get upset, when then that is their problem, not yours.
