This is a frequent scam going on in my area of Canada and various news articles have been published about it on tv. We've had people calling claiming to be from Microsoft tech support as many as three times a week for the last 2 years. I either tell them straight up we know they're a scam and hang up on them or just hang up on them. I've even considered getting an old fashioned metal whistle to blow into the receiver just to top it off before hanging up. We very aware people, this is a SCAM!
