I've received the "Your computer is reporting problems indicating that it is at risk" phone call once, but I was in line at a register, and couldn't try to have any fun with the guy.
Years ago I received several of the "Our records indicate your vehicle's warranty has expired" calls. Which technically was true... since my car was over 10 years old and I was the 3rd owner of the car. On the 1st call, I asked how they got my number and they hung up. On the second call, I asked to be removed from their call list, and they hung up. On the 3rd call, I said I was going to report them to the FCC, and they hung up.
I've received several calls from people "with google" trying to help us increase our presence online. They seem shocked that I don't want to do that. I've also received several of the toner cartridge scam calls for printers. I don't understand how they think it will work when they call acting like they know you, '"remind you" of a phone conversation you had a year ago, and then try to sell you Ink cartridges for a laser printer for a brand you don't even own. (at 1st I thought he was trying to sell me a printer).
Honestly I think 90% of the sales calls you receive at a business are some type of fraud.
