Not sure if it's the same scam, but I've received a couple of calls like
that in the last few months. The caller starts by saying that they are
"the Microsoft security center.." and that "your computer
has a virus."

On the first call, I remember saying.. "Oh! Is that so... you've got
to be really good at your job scamming people", then I just asked to
be on the Do Not Call List.  He hung up in ME immediately.

On a subsequent call a few weeks later, I just basically told the guy that
"you'd probably do better at a real job than trying to scam
people."  Then *I* hung up.

Part of me would like to entertain them to the point where they make a
mistake in the ongoing lie.  But it's also just a waste of time.
