It was a PSA to warn everyone of the scam. They call and say your computer is infected and get you to go to their website to get cleaning software. If you do that you get all types of malware and an offer of pay to clean.
My response to them was a way of getting them to take you off their suckers list permanently.

I got a call like that recently and went along with them for a while then called them on something and he got really annoyed and started swearing at me lol. I asked why he was so mad and he just said "fuck you" and hung up

I've had a few calls like this. One time I played along with them for a laugh, then I told them to go fuck themselves.

Played along with them one time for over 45 minutes. They had 6 guys on the line trying to get me connected. They gave up on their first choice for remote access and when they went to the second one I new the software off by heart. I use it to support my clients. Played along for a bit more and the final time when they had me try to install it for the 12th time gave them an ID number that was correct. They thought they hit the jackpot.

They then asked for the password so I gave it to them FCKU2.

Should have heard the swearing going on. That's when I told them they got a hold of a Microsoft Tech and I was well aware of their scam. Told them I was glad I could keep 6 of them busy for almost an hour. Keep a few others from being scammed.

What ever you do don't ever believe that Microsoft is monitoring your internet and have some fun with these guys when they call. Pretend to play along but tell them your browser won't let you go to their site. Keeps others from being called.

I normally keep them on hold until they hang up. when they call again i say "great, you again. let me put you on hold". this went on for 2 hours. I finished watching my movie...

 

[wigglee]

they always seem to have an Indian accent....I tell them my computer takes forever to boot , then I accidentally unplug it and start again...finally I start talking gibberish and see how long it takes them to get pissed and end by calling them scumbag criminals.

 

[Capital Amatuer]

I thank them for calling to advise me of my computer problems, then tell then I'll have my computer guy look at my computer and hang-up. But I should fuck with them a bit more, to waste their time.

 

[SoftHands813]

Play along for a while and then tell them you've got a Mac.

That one is a classic MissCroft. It's been around for quite a while but still funny as all hell to listen to.

 

[great bear]

Had one call the other night. Every question she asked I replied with yes. She asked me about twenty questions then hung up in disgust.

I get these calls all the time. There seem to be a lot of them during the day, since I work at home I answer the calls. I started telling them we only have Apple computers. I may try PUSSYHUNTER's method next time and keep them on the phone

It's lots of fun stringing them along. Keep telling them that your browser won't let you access the page they want. They just keep trying and trying ... LOL
