I had one of these yesterday, and I told the guy (who had a very thick
accent, difficult to pinpoint wherefrom) I did not have a computer and hung
up.
Not 10 seconds later I received a call from a woman (again with a strong
accent) telling me not to hang up, that this was a evry serious matter and
that my computer
was the problem.
I told her too, that I do not have a computer and hung up.

Variations of this call are our most frequent 'spam' phonecalls at the
moment. In particular telling us that there are serious security issues
with our Windows computers. When we say that we only have Macs the call
is cut off; same thing happens if we say we don't have a computer. I did
once let the guy waffle on for ages, pretending to input everything he
asked me to (I was bored and putting off a job I didn't want to do). When
he asked me what I could now see on my screen I spelled out T H I S I S
A S C A M. That also resulted in the phone call ending somewhat
abruptly.
