They were phoning from India or thereabouts. I asked in the forum and they told me that it was a quite common occurrence, only that they were now going round Spain.
They tried me several times, then the calls stopped.
Happens all the time here (UK). Like Billie, I just string them along, pretend to be worried, obey their instructions, then when my computer doesn't behave as they expect it to, I finally mention 'Linux'. This kind of attack depends on human gullibility, rather than technical know-how. A few years ago I found that ssh port 22 was under sustained attack from various countries - US, China, Brazil etc. They always failed as I use private key-public key matching and not passwords, but it prompted me to move my ssh port to an unused high number port. Thanks to David Rankin for his help at the time.
