Got this call today from what looked like a legit number and the call display indicated "call privacy".

So like a sucker I answered it.  It was a man with a thick east Indian accent (western name) saying he was calling from Microsoft and that there was a problem with my computer.  I told him to F**K OFF and before I could really tell him what I thought of him, he hung up.

This is a scam that has been around for a while under various other phone numbers.  They are trying to gain access to your computer for reasons other then what they will tell you if you listen to them long enough.
