Jup, they called me to - here in Norway... But they was talking so bad - that even I who is not fluent in english had problems hearing what they was talking about.. So I just told them to F*** off and told them that if they tried to call me once I would devastate THEIR computer with some virus I had lying around.. And I also told the lady on the phone - that Microsoft doesn't call customers that way - and that your "shenanigans" have been in the news papers for the last couple of mounts, so stop even pretend working for Microsoft..

It also helped that at the time she claimed I was sending virus out on the net - my computer was closed down - and I know my computer dosen't had any virus on it, as I have had a total scan just 9 hour before - before I got to bed - they called my 9 in the morning..

They have never ever tried to call me after that...
