[quote=bibsoconner]It may not be worth your time, but I wonder if this is a money making opportunity? You say they are consistently calling. Can you record them (you have to inform them that you are recording) or at least log the calls. You could put it on speaker phone so someone in your home can be a witness that the call happened. Tell them each time to remove you from the list. There is supposed to be agencies to deal with “do not call” violations. A few that came up with a Google search
I’ve never gotten consistent calls (after I told them to take me off the list), so I’ve never been in a position to make money, but perhaps you can!
I’ve gotten the Windows Technical Support call a few (<5) random times. So far I've just had fun with it by having them quote prices and then telling them I have nothing but Linux (not true) or my favorite, asking, "I don't have any Windows machines, but can I pay you some money anyhow?"
Good luck.

They aren't based in the U.S. It sounds like the people running this scam are using a call center out of India (and I don't mean this in any disrespect to folks from India), but I was able to trick one "agent" into giving me a callback number, and it was an international number based in India.
It's just annoying that my phone rings late at night for the past few days...I guess I can turn off the ringer.
I'm going to try to snag one of their ip addresses. Unfortunately, I'm not a hacker type... If I were evil, I might be compelled to try to unlease a virus or two on THEIR systems.
