I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Today I received a call from a man, Roderick Jones (more imaginative than John Smith I guess) claiming to be with a company called Global Tech Support Inc. Computer Mainenance Department. He was telling me that I had malicious spyware on my computer. He said that 'my computer' had contacted them through the International Routing System (IRS - obviously not American) with error messages, etc. He wanted me to turn something off in the operationg system. Before I would do anything, I asked for his phone number, how he got my phone number and to talk to his supervisor. He made out as though there was a bad connection suddenly but did give me the number: 559-800-7137, which he said was in Toronto, ON (actually a California #).  I tried it and sure enough, the same guy answered...no switchboard board, or automated phone list???? I told him I didn't know him from Adam so I wouldn't be doing anything he asked and that I wasn't interested, thank you very much click.
