Just had one of those calls which originate from overseas about the 'security issues' on your computer:
Caller: Err hello this is Technical Support from Windows is that Mr G*********?
Me: *sigh* yes
Caller: Do you know that everytime you go on to the internet your computer is being infected with viruses which is allowing hackers to access your computer and information?
Me: Hackers like you, you mean?
Caller: Yes, hackers like me.........erm.....
Me *laughing*
Caller: ......errrrr........
*click*
Me: Hello? ..........Dont go, I was enjoying that!
That cheered me up ;D ;D

Had one of those a few weeks back, kept the muppet talking for ages trying to get me to access different screens, with my "limited" knowledge, he finally gave up when i informed him he would need to speak with our tech dept in the US as we are a worldwide company and it was a works pc ::)

Yes, I love winding those buggers up! :y
The abuse I give them at the end of our "conversation" I particularly relish! :D :D :D ;)

I might go a bit further next time and use a redundant lappy, stick it on a separate VLAN islolated from the rest of the network, let them infect it and monitor the activity (find out their IP address, username, etc).....and then.......... ::)
