The one calling site that leaves a message is the one that claims

 Well, no, that would be too much information! It is always the same
message, with the same charges.
I have recently had a spate of: "Your package is ready for
pickup..." e-mail messages, and a couple of the "Thank you for
renewing your Norton 360 subscription." ones. Since I have been
exclusively a Linux user since 2010, that is well out of date!

Yup, the Norton one I receive also. I am on Linux as well, and have
also been since 2010.

Somehow I got my Chromebook browser completely locked up saying I had a
 virus and to contact xxxx to get rid of it. However since it said it was a
 Windows 11 virus I wasn't too worried. But I was surprised that it was able
 to lock up the Chromebook completely so that I had to reboot it to recover.
 Perhaps Chrome stuff is not really as safe as advertised...
