We�ve been targeted last week, my wife answered - she was rather puzzled when told that our Windows Server had some errors - she knows the only windows we have are securely fitted to our house.
The bad Engrish, repetition of the same phrase when questioned, and inability to pronounce their Engrish name correctly...
Was funny, but now annoying.
Apparently wanted her to go to a website on our PC - she knew better, and referred them to call back to get me... they didn�t want to.
I am going to try to draw up a list of hairy questions for her to ask for next time :-)
If you can�t beat them, annoy them :-)

______________________________________________________________________________________________Hi guys.
Here's a scam that's been doing the rounds. One of my friends in Dunedin
received such a phone call:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres
One of the commenters below the article said he was runnng Linux ... and
the caller said that may have caused the problem with his Windows!
If they ring me, I might just say something in broken English along the
lines of, " Sorry, I can't download your nasty fraudalent expensive
malware on my broken abacus, should I try the garbage disposal unit
instead?"
