Called my landline at about 09:15 on 17 Aug 26. I only answered because it was a mobile phone. It seems the scammers have run out of new ideas, so they are re-using the very old Microsoft Windows scam where they claim to be from Microsoft and claim your computer has been infected and it's sending out messages etc. It was a Malay/Philippine female, so I led her on for about 10 minutes until she twigged that I wasn't falling for her lies so she used son very unladylike expletives and hung up
