A stranger on the end of a phone call tells you your PC is infected, and you should download and install a RC server 
so it can be fixed.

Heard of a lot of this in Scotland recently.  Although, everyone I've
spoken to that's been called has said that the call quality sounds
like it's originating from abroad.  A couple of people reported
potentially the same guy calling, 'Paul' from Microsoft....
