Caller claimed to be a technician from Microsoft and wanted to 'fix' our computer because we had viruses etc. Spoke with a very heavy Indian/Pakistani accent but claimed (when asked) his name was 'Harry Wilson'. Gave this number after we suggested we would have to call back

Similar call as above from "Harry". Said he was Microsoft approved company. I asked for his employee ID # and he gave me 4231. I told him that all employee numbers for Microsoft affiliated companies were 9 digits so he gave me 629501923. I asked for his call back phone number and he gave me 614.288.9290. I asked what city he was located in and he said "California". I asked where in California and he said "California". I said that California was a state name but not a city name. I asked him if he knew the name of the city in California where he was located. He hung up on me. (I was prepared to waste some more time toying with him but he chickened out.)
