Got a call this afternnon from someone claiming my windows computer had alot of errors on it. I knew it was a scam but used the same technique Rory Cellan-Jones did with the caller he got. Click on the listen to the call and hear the interaction, it's quite hilarious. My caller get extremely upset when he found out I didn't own a Windows computer

Our post on the Windows phone scam continues to get a lot of hits, suggesting that the scam is still around, and fraudsters are still trying to con PC users out of money for performing largely useless tasks on their computers
.
However, they recently picked on the wrong person to scam; BBC technology correspondant Rory Cellan-Jones, who played along with them for a bit, and recorded the conversation, which was played out on Today on Radio 4 ( listen to the call here).
Suffice to say, when Rory revealed that he didn’t in fact own a PC, the caller got rather annoyed, and accused Rory of wasting his time, as well as (unsurprisingly) refusing to give a contact number for the firm he worked for.
