I just got the same call the Bobbert did from PCSecure and he wanted to check my computer for spyware. I asked him why he was called and I did not get an answer. I sure there are people out there that would have done what he asked and he would make it sound like they have something really wrong and would sell them software to fix it just to take their money.
Got a call from 315-405-8517. Man said he works for PCSecure. Sounded like a scam. I asked him where he was and he said he worked for the company and it's in Seattle Washington. I asked where he personally is sitting, and he finally admitted India. He wanted me to do an "offline" check of my computer system. I told him I needed his info. He gave me 800-878-2302 and his name was Gary Wilson. So I said, well, Gary Wilson from India, I think you are a part of a scam and this phone call is done. Then I hung up. This is the 2nd such phone call we have received.

Caller called twice and spoke to my wife. Caller said we have been hacked and should follow instructions for windows. My wife said call back when husband home.They called back while I was home and I smelled a rat. I asked where they were and told them to TALK ! The line went dead. I tried to call the 315-405-8517 number back twice but got a recording saying number is no longer in service.
Called today. Had a 11 in front of the phone number so I was suspicious that it was a foreign call. Wanted to talk about my Windows system security. Hang up.
