An annoying phone call.

[cheatking]

Lately I've received the same phone call over and over again, different people each time.
The calls come about twice a week and go something along the lines of this:

*phone rings*
Me: Hello
Them: Yes, hello? Are you the main computer user? (Indian accent of course.)
(After the first 2 calls I now hang up here.)
Me: Yes.
Them: Your windows computer has been sending virus warnings to our windows servers, can you access your computer just now?
Me: I'm on.

After this it's steps to download some software and unblock firewall. (Being the sensible person I am I didn't REALLY do it.)

After I got to the downloading software part I just hanged up.

But I still get phone calls, :(

Hmmmm mabye they'll stop after awhile but then again mabye not it is a scam though to probably gain control over your computer.

Should have told them that none of your computers has Microsoft Windows installed at all, but some exotic operating system like FreeBSD. That way, even if you did download the software, you can at least intend that you are incapable of getting it to work.

Simple Question,
  Have you used or submitted your phone number to any site (Official or Unofficial) over time?
Ever?

Don't be silly.

It could be Possible, Mr. Sean.
You give it to, let's say Paypal, next thing you know you're getting phone calls.
I know Paypal wouldn't do it themselves, but it was just an example. Probably a bad one.
