IT expert should trap scammers

IS there anybody out there who can assist with these continuous phone calls from supposed "Windows" people telling you that there is something wrong with your computer? It is a foreign-accented person, asking you a lot of details which I obviously did not give but this keeps going on.

It does not end and I am convinced it is a scam, as you just cannot phone them back, even at the number on your screen. I want to believe there must be some clever IT technician who should be able to track down these people and/or calls and let the Hawks investigate.

I am just scared somebody is not going to know and later finds he is sitting with an empty bank account. When I tell the caller they are running a scam, the phone gets put down.

You can't phone them back. Be alert, all my South African brothers and sisters.
