Some time ago I received a call from a female with a Sub-Continental accent, informing me of the same, Mick. I played the game, expressing horror and concern; she told me she would transfer me to a "Senior Microsoft Technician". As I waited for the transfer, I disconnected the internet. A male voice came on, wit an accent from the same region, telling me how wise I was and to follow his guidance. I typed in every command he instructed, after confirming his direction. This took quite some time as I didn't want to make a mistake. At the end of the directives, he stated that I should have a certain screen, "No." I said with deep concern. We went through the excercise again, with the same result. He asked if I had the internet switched on, "We don't have the internet connected to this house." was my reply. He hung up on me, after forty minutes of hard work.
A few days later I got another call, same M.O., pretty sure it was the same woman. I kept interrupting her, enquiring about her underwear. She stoically plowed on, starting her rote guff over again, after each interuption. This call only lasted ten minutes before I was hung up upon; by her.

Keeping it simple is complicated.
