The caller claimed to be from Windows, stating they had received error reports and wanted to assist me with my computer; however, when I asked for his name and informed him I would report the call, he promptly hung up, only to call again a few hours later, highlighting the ineffectiveness of the do-not-call list for international calls.
Microsoft‑like tech support scam: how to stop it! - +1 800181000 (800181000)

Calls from that number frequently claim to be Microsoft tech support, yet the script matches classic scam patterns. The callers pressure you to grant remote access, threaten harassment, and ask for payment, all hallmarks of a scam. Never install software or share credentials with unsolicited callers, even if they quote Windows error reports. Verify any support request by contacting Microsoft directly through official channels, and let the call go to voicemail before deciding to return it. Use your phone’s built‑in blocking feature or a third‑party app to add the number to a do‑not‑call list, and report the incident to the FTC or your carrier. Staying cautious and refusing unknown remote‑access offers cuts the harassment short.

Despite numerous daily calls, the caller refuses to identify themselves, which is quite frustrating.
After receiving five calls from this number in a single day, all claiming to be from Microsoft and warning of computer problems, I told the caller to cease contacting my household, as it constituted harassment; the caller's response was to tell me to calm down, at which point I ended the call.
After missing four calls from this number, I attempted to return the call, only to find that the number was not recognized, suggesting a possible pattern of repeated calls regarding computer issues.
A useful tactic is to tell the caller you've switched to a Mac; in my experience, this has resulted in no further calls for weeks, ending the daily harassment.
Despite being registered on the "don't call list", this number has contacted me twice in the past 24 hours, including a late-night call after 10pm.
This appears to be a scam, as the individual who called claimed to be from Microsoft and attempted to troubleshoot my computer issues, requesting that I be in front of the computer.
