My mother got this call maybe a month or two ago with something similar. The call started off with "Hello my name is (somename) from (some company), we have detected you have something wrong with your windows 7 computer" my mother is the last person to know what OS she is running so she told the guy she would just wait for me to come home and fix it but the guy kept saying it was really easy to fix and he would walk her through it.
Thankfully she clued in that something wasnt right and just hung up on the guy.
My guess is they just assume a lot of people have Windows 7 and get the user to go to some website that will "fix the problem" and give them banking information.
