I just received a call from someone claiming to be from Windows Support... they claim my computer has triggered an alarm in their system because it is downloading a lot of illegal files... they then asked me aggressively if I was aware of this fact? I was then instructed to connect to the internet in order that they could access my computer.
I hung up at this point and they immediately rang me back so I threatened to call the police.
Does anybody know if there is something I should do to report them?

It's a scam and has been going on for years, how would they know you have windows.
Oh they are still doing the rounds eh , I had few calls each time I informed them to p off one occasion i told them I knew it was scam the person laughed and said it wasn't so questioned them why they were calling funnily enough the more questions you ask the less they know and then hang up , not had a call since
My mate nearly did she is year older than me so 26 she is quite new to owning her own laptop and a week after getting it she had a call , it was only because she remembered me warning her against these calls that she didn't give her info out !
