The guy from the call center said to me:
I'm calling about your computer - do you understand?
I'm from the (couldnt understand what the name of the of company) and we're calling about the software that you have installed on your computer - do you understand?
Well the software that you have installed is giving out a signal and its interferring with our computers in malaysia (pretty sure he said malaysia).
But I asked him what he was talking about as no computer was turned on and he just repeated it again, so I told him that I knew about computers and that I build them myself, this is when he said "you know about computers?", after I confirmed this he asked "Are you a computer professional?" when I said Yes this is when he said I'm sorry to disturb you said goodbye and put the phone down.
At this point I'm wishing that I had kept the phone call going to find out what they were after, or had asked what the company was called again.

If you would like to send me your name, address, Bank details, IP address, DOB etc etc I'll check into it to make sure you're safe.
What scam. I hope I get one of those calls. I'll keep them talking for hours hopefully.
