He did give a number but I didn't catch it, I'd already got him to repeat things a few times so didn't push that one.

What name did they give for the place ?

02035190336 whose number is this? 02035190336 - Phone-Spam.co.uk

That's good had no idea about finding out the number, when he phoned it just came through showing as unavailable on the phone screen but he was happy to give me that number telling me to call them and they'd tell me all I wanted to know then they'd put me through to him.

Even the Postcode is garbage Joan: W2 2GG - Check My Postcode

No such code as "LW" in UK, nearest W22 and that is defunct. More proof that even scammers are dumbing-down.

Hi Bob I didn't even bother checking it out as I was sure it was just another scam, he's not the best to try and get people to do as he wants, he gets very irate when you don't do what he asked. It started when he told me I had a Windows key next to my ctrl key on my keyboard and I said no and I wasn't going to press them anyway before checking things out, that's when I started asking for all his particulars.

We should let them use our computer but in a virtual environment and track their I.P.

It's on the 'other side of the pond' too. I just got off the phone with Windows Security Dept. They said my computer was downloading unwanted programs and he wanted to fix it for me. I strung him along as long as I could. He finally hung up on me.

Just answer the phone "NSA Security" see how long they stay on line

We have a "do not call" registry in this country and it isn't very effective because of overseas auto internet dialling.
You listen for a significant delay then you have a fair idea that you are on an auto dial list then hang up or wait for the little bit of rubbish then hang up.
The problem with fixed/land line coms is that the sending party can still hold your line open and it is a relatively new scam. If you get off the line and dial say your bank then it is best to make sure that you have made the circuit switched connect to who you want and not speaking to the con artists. Dial a known number eg. the speaking clock (does that still exist?).
