A new way to combat Windows Support and IRS Scam Phone Calls and Ransomware

I bet many of you have received ransomware that pops up while you are browsing and says your computer has a problem and you have to call a number to get it fixed.  It appears to be legitimate because the pop up includes something about Windows Support.

Or maybe you get a "cold" phonecall that does about the same thing:  Microsoft had detected that your computer has a problem and needs to be fixed right away.

I won't go into the details but point you to this article:  http://www.zdnet.com/article/programmer-declares-war-on-windows-support-scammers/?loc=newsletter_featured_related_listing&ftag=TRE17cfd61&bhid=22449904719690284461257671316617

The article describes a "new" way to combat these calls:  a service that calls the number of the scammer and floods the scammer with robo calls until the scammer can no longer operate.  If you go to the services page, linked in the above article, it describes how to use the service.  There is a charge.
