I got one today, Thursday, and once they said they were from phone support, I said "Oh, get stuffed" and hung up. He rang me back and abused me for yelling at him. I then told him that he sounded like one of the supposed Microsoft Support calls and I hung up. The phone rang again and he explained how he was a legitimate company in Adelaide, however there was a definite half second delay, and that they were a real company that had detected that our computer was infested with a virus which our scanner would not be able to detect. He said he could give me a website that I could goto that would indicate they were a real company (yeah, and when I go there, it downloads something onto the computer). So I hung up and he actually didn't ring back.
I thought of it later, but I should have asked him what the time was in Adelaide and what the temperature was for today, he would probably not think about it being winter and would not know about the half hour difference. I should have also asked how he was able to associate my phone number with a particular computer!
So they are getting really persistent now! And to have them complain that I yelled at him! Well, I never....
