Microsoft scam

Just got a phone call from "John" from "Microsoft" to tell me that there's trouble with my computer, and I need to install... Yeah, yeah, heard it before. He has been calling us for weeks, but always only got my Dad who hung up as soon as heard an english speaking voice. And I had already googled the number and knew what they were up to (they tell you that you have a virus, and you need to install TeamViewer so that they could take over and get rid of it. Yeah, how about no.) So I cut him off and told him that I know it's a scam, that he would never get on my computer, and he should never call me again. He started to get a hissy fit. I told him to fuck himself with a cactus and hung up the phone. Time will tell if that worked...
