      Take a gander at these articles:

              I just received a phone call where the caller ID said
              "private caller"  The guy sounded like he was from India. 
              He said he was from TSA and they had received an online
              report that my computer was running slow.  When I asked
              how I could contact them he hung up.  

              

              Clearly a scam.
