I had a scam call claiming to be from Microsoft. The guy identified himself using an "American" name like Dave or Mike but with an Indian accent. He said he was from Microsoft Security and went through the usual BS. When it was my turn to talk I said "You do realize I work for Microsoft." He hung up immediately.
