I've been getting a bunch of calls from phone number "234567890" (yes 9 
digits) on my cell phone which would call and then ask you to hold.  
Hung up on it a few times but on number 5 or 6 I wanted it to go away so 
I waited.  A woman came on and I think (very difficult to understand 
through her accent) was telling me that my computer was sending out a 
lot of viruses on the network.  I think they wanted me to buy some 
software or something.  Would have strung it out more for amusement but 
I just couldn't understand her.  Told them never to call me again and 
haven't heard from them in a day or so.  So something else to be aware of.
