Good luck with that. I've had two calls purporting to be from "the
computer department". As soon as I start querying them, they laugh
and hang up. I don't have caller ID, so I don't know their
originating number. I doubt it's revealed in any case.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
