If I'm feeling charitable, I ask them where they got my number from,
because I never gave it to MS.

And if I'm not, I call then a stupid Pakistani. Most of the scam calls are
from India. For some reason, citizens of those two countries are
antagonistic to each other, and neither like it all when we remind them
that to our ears their accents sound identical.

I always wondered how long you could keep them on the phone, while
they were trying to get you to enable remote support and give them the
password. "OK I did that" "now I am getting something ridiculous"
"OK let's start over" rinse repeat.
