My 83 year old mother gets calls like that. Her response is to mess with them, especially the windows people who want to fix her computer. Play along for awhile and when they ask for her credit card or for some money she plays hard ball with them. After awhile they get pissed off and hang up.
There was one time when someone woman was trying to sell her some fake vacation/cruise package in Florida. Everything was going great until they asked for her CC number.
Mom: "Why should I give you my CC number?"
Scammer: "You don't want this great vacation package?"
Mom: "She asks the same question."
Scammer: "You realise I will have to give this someone else?"
Mom: "I don't care who you give it too, you're not getting my CC number."
Scammer: She gets a bit hostile with her asking how she could turn down such a great offer. More to the point that deals like this don't come up very often.
Mom: "There's no need to raise your voice, I can hear just fine. If this trip is so great why don't you take it yourself?"
Scammer: "Okay. You don't know what you're missing .Click"
