ot: scammer from india

[Brian Cluff]

I had been waiting for a long time to get one of these calls.... when it 
finally came, my wife answered the phone.  They said there were calling 
from windows support and that they were calling to help fix our computer 
that they had received reports of being infected.

She immediately replied that we didn't have any windows computers and 
then said, this is a scam phone call and you will be reported to the 
authorities and hung up.

It was funny, but wasn't as much fun as I was hoping to have with them.
