Twice in the past few weeks I've gotten calls from someone, Dot or Sand, can't tell which, stating someone in South Carolina, has been attempting to hack my computer.
Caller ID shows their number but no name. I told the caller to tell me who it was and I'd hunt him down and whip his arse for him.
I'm not subscribed to any company that would perform such a service.
Anyone else getting these calls?

No, but I did get that porn warning that locks your computer.
That was bizarre.

I get calls from Jamaica a lot.
I usually try and start a conversation with them. They usually hang up.

Haven't got one, but it is a pretty common scam.
Another variation they'll use is to say that they've detected that your computer is about to crash.
If you talk to them, they'll ask you to enable remote desktop or some other remote access method and offer to 'fix' it for you. Sometimes they even have the gall to ask for a small fee (which can be conveniently paid with a debit or credit card over the phone).
LOTS of people fall for it.

Was waiting for the bank to open up the other day, a
man about 65 yrs old was waiting also. We started talking he was there because, he had some company
online work on his windows xp os to get up to date. They got all his banking info. credit card #'s. He said
the bank caught it in about an hr.
