Getting flooded with calls from 'The Technical Support Centre' because they have detected a problem with my PC.
Finally asked the name of the person calling and it was 'Matt Anderson' - so I asked Matt why he was using the Apu Nahasapeemapetilon voice, and he got quite huffy.
Things went downhill from there and I fear the Bombay Department of Hurt Feelings may be popping round.

No, the area where I live (Windsor area) is being flooded with these calls from these scammers.
They attempt to get remote control of the PC to install their crap then ask for your Visa number to clean it out.
The calls are coming in with a UK code.
I have a family member who allowed them into a Virtual Machine just to keep them on the line for a while - he has a whimsical sense of humour.

I got a similar call, but they said that it was Windows Live Support.

I told them that my computer was running Linux.

She didn't know how to respond, so she hung up.
