My mom, a senior who is still a computer novice, has recieved several of these calls, so it is going through at least edmonton and calgary.
No idea what they are selling, or what they are trying to do, but just a head's up.

They usually remote onto the machine to 'make sure it is secure' while uploading a trojan. Big time scam. It's amazing people actually fall for it.
