Last week I finally got the one where the guy calls from "Microsoft" to tell me that my computer is infected with viruses, and wishes to help me to "clean" my system.

I started up a Windows XP virtual machine, and let him walk me through everything he wanted me to do so at the very least the phone call would at least cost them some money.

I would have liked to be a fly on the wall when that phone call happened.
