Got a Phishing call!

I got a Phishing call the other day, the guy sounded very official, and told me their scanning service had
detected a virus on my computer.
It would not be out of the possibility for me to get a real call of this nature, so I listened for a bit.
He kept saying "your Computer", so finally I asked him which one? "well yours" was the response.
I asked him, if he were monitoring my computers, and one was showing a virus, what was the IP address
of the offending computer? "CLICK".
I was mildly entertaining.

I work at home, I get them all the time. I like to do a little performance art with them.

It usually ends in them screaming 4 letter words at me. LOL

I got one of those calls too.

The caller wanted me to go to a certain website on my computer.

I told him no way jose because it could be rigged with a virus.

We kept debating about it.

I was stringing him out on time.

I know they get evaluated based on how fast they can get you to sign up.

Eventually he hung up on me.

Case closed.
