I received a call at 6:30 in the morning by someone with a heavy accent telling me that he was calling from Microsoft and that the Microsoft computer software on my computer had a malicious virus. He was calling to "walk" me through some strange procedure to rid my computer of the virus. I asked him why Microsoft didn't appear on the caller ID. He stumbled, mumbled, and I called his bluff. He continued to insist, though, and became rather rude. I told him exactly how I felt about what he was actually trying to do, and then I hung up.

What they did was ilolegal and they can be charged I believe.  It is an unlawful practise to give out that information.
