Received the same BS call this afternoon asking to speak to the person using a computer in our household. Advised that it was leaking personal information. I asked where he was calling from he said "Internet Service Provider" something or other. I said "Do you really think I'm that F**king stupid" ...he hung up lol. Sounds legit! lol
I just had a similar call from the same Internet server Managment. Knowing w/in 15 seconds he was scamming (I've had previous calls) I played along w/ him. When I asked for my IP address from him he said he wasn't authorized to give it out. Fine, I told him I had four pcs and he said it doesn't matter which one... He wanted me to go into the application logs on my win7 manager... Of course there are warnings and errors in there... At first I told him there wasn't any... Then playing dumb I 'found them'.. Finally I told him if he was sending me the messages (as he claimed) that he should tell me exactly when they sent the last message and what it contained but if he couldn't he could go suck a lemon because I knew it was a scam and I was trying to waste his time..... He promptly hung up :-)
I keep missing this call on my cell while I'm at work. They've called everyday for the past week. International country calling code of 44 which is tagged to the UK. Very annoying, glad to see these posts to confirm it's just a scam call.
Also got a call and answered by mistake. Like the others, they said they needed to "clean up my computer microsoft". I told them to go to he$% and hung up.

Same call as everyone else above--asked for me by name. And I had the same kind of call yesterday from another number. Fellow had a "north american" accent, though. I told him what a load of crap and that he was obviously just trying to gain access to my system to upload malware. He said, "Do you really believe that?" I said "we're not all as stupid as your handlers think we are buddy!...and BTW F off!!" Getting mighty sick of it though, call after call after call. I *69'd it and the phone company couldn't "catch" it. This was the number that popped up on the call display.
