A couple of nights ago I got a call from "Windows Technical Support" by some Indian guy. I hung up on him, looked that one up and found they try to con you into giving them remote access to your PC, whereupon you either pay them for some bogus virus removal service or they will delete a bunch of files off your system.
Yeah, I got a call from him. He said my computer had been reporting a problem.
I accused him of spying on my computer and told him I was going to report him to the FBI.
It got real quite on the line.
Got a call like that recently. I told the caller "Thank God you've called! All my computers got confiscated in a raid by the Sheriff's Department. Maybe you can help me prove the bad stuff on there wasn't mine!!" Then I begged them to call the Sheriff's Department to help me get my computers back. I even gave them the phone number. The caller said he'd try.
Haven't heard from them since.
