Ha! I had the same call. I knew it was a scam the minute I answered the phone.
I kept that guy going for about 10 minutes. I kept asking him stuff like "So what are you doing today?" or "where are you calling from?" He gave me some weird place in California I'd never heard of. I told him I had never heard of it. He told me to look it up on Google, so I told him I couldn't because my computer was infected with a virus. He then called me a "stupid american bullsh!tter" and hung up on me.
Lol! I have been getting these calls for a while. An indian guy will call and say my computer has been infected and he is from Microsoft technical support (I don't even use Microsoft). He said I did not have to give him my credit card details as it was not a paid service. I was trolling him up to the point where he wanted me to give him remote access to my laptop to clean it up. I hung up at this point.
The same calls kept coming for a month and this was really starting to irritate me. What he didn't know is I have some experience in programming. I had an idea that he was going to look for account details when he had remote control.
I set up a virtual pc on my laptop and created a folder called accounts and information. As usual, a few days later I received the same call. I gave him remote access and he done some searching around until low and behold, he clicked on accounts and information and started to download. What he didn't know was that I had loaded hundreds of virus into this folder. Download complete, he exited remote control and I just said to him. I hope you enjoy that and hung up.
