I received this call several times. The first time, I fell for it for a short while. After several minutes, told him that I didn't believe him and hung up. They are trying to access your online banking info ( i found this out when I took the computer in to get it checked after we were online together for a while). Thank goodness I hung up and didn't fall for his line.

I got that call a few months ago. I knew immediately and I literally yelled back at him, "My computer isn't even on, and you are a fraud and a thief, and DO NOT EVER call me back again because I know better." He never called back!

I'd gotten these calls starting about 2 years ago, havent had one in a while. Told me something was wrong with my Windows registry, I have a mac, which doesnt have a registry. I just let them prattle on for a bit and then told him about the mac only for them to still go on about Windows .. whatever lol

Last phone call though was for some survey by the same sort of mob. He actually started shouting at me when I told him I wasnt interested in participating, he then had the cheek to tell me that the phone call was being recorded and that *I* was being rude, I certainly was after he said that and I wont tell you where I told him to go!
