I do and I've now had a phone blocker installed.They used to drive me mad and it was so obvious they were scammers.The best thing to do is play dumb and hang up the phone.

Answer 2

Used to be fairly frequently, but I usually mess with them when they call and keep them on the phone.  That stops them from scamming others.  Seems to have slowed down the calls though.

Sometimes I recognize the number on caller ID and answer "Microsoft fraud division, how can I help you?" which causes them to immediately hang up.

Answer 4

I've had one and unfortunately they scammed me good. Reported them to the Better Business Bureau and I at least got my money back after that but my computer is screwed up and my Yahoo mail is frozen in Chrome. Works ok on Edge though.

Answer 8

Probably, but my carrier IDs many calls as Scam Likely, and numbers not on my contact list do not get answered by me.
