That's been around a while. A recent variation on it is you get a call
claiming that the "Microsoft Refund Department" has money for you. Of
course when you call they try to tell you your license has actually
expired and you need to pay them. I have a lot of fun with those guys
when I have time to play. Sometimes they want to use TeamViewer to remote
in and I have a Linux virtual machine set up for that purpose.

It's loads of fun watching them try to run Windows commands in that
environment and nothing works, they are totally clueless. When the call
ends in them shouting a third-world curse from their ****hole country
and hanging up I consider it a job well done.
