Hello Sir, We are getting messages from your Windows computer

I received a telephone call today from man with an Indian accent who told me that he has received error messages from my Windows computer. As I do not have a Windows computer it was pretty easy for me to decide that this was scam. I said, "pardon me?" to make sure I heard him correctly the first time. I asked him what company he is from and he mumbled some company name with Windows mushed in. I asked him if there was a telephone number I could reach him at. When he asked why, I told him "so I can let the police know where to reach you."

I don't understand why he hung up. ;)
