We get the computer "technical support" scam calls all the time at our house. I've handled them in different ways over time. They usually really annoy me. This time I started out telling the guy that we run a system other than windows (not true for this purpose it didn't matter.) When he kept going, I just started making a big joke out of it. 
He asked me what I saw on my screen - I told him "bats" and just lost it laughing. He must have thought he got a kid on the phone because then he asked me how old I was - I told him "120". In the middle of laughing, I told him I had never had so much fun with a scammer. In the end, he gave up and told me to have a good day. I told him he just made my day!
I think I've been doing too many Madlibs with my kids - DH said it sounded like I was making a madlib out of the conversation!
I think I'm going to have to do this with more scam calls - its actually fun!
