    I don't think they really care.
    They don't, they are just hoping to get access to your computer to get what ever info they can.

    I've been called a couple times from some ridiculous number that doesn't exist.

    I'd love to find a way to get the carpet cleaners to stop calling from all over the world.
    Plus about $200 to "fix" the machine.
    Yeah, they'll take that too if you're willing.

    Never happened to me D: It might be that fact that I NEVER answer 1-800 or other numbers like that.
