They called me at work in the uk this week. I let them go on and on and on then after about 10 mins I told him he'd come through to the fraud dept at the police station. I was told to go away (with an F) and they hung up

Thursday 4th February a resident of Arboleas reported that received two calls giving the usual spiel about a problem with Microsoft Windows on his computer.  He told them in the 1st call he didnt have Microsoft windows & put the phone down.  They phoned again insisting he had a problem & this  time he questioned them asking which company they were represented.  Each time he asked them they ignored the question & eventually they put the phone down.
The phone number they phoned from was  0052 563 652 62. The country & 0052 is Mexico.

This is a well known scam that has been around for sometime.

Never ever respond to unsolicited  /cold calls.
