I just had one of those calls from someone claiming to be a Microsoft service centre person. Fake obviously. I tried to keep them on the line as long as possible to waste their time. I'm afraid I didn't do very well, I think I only wasted about 10 minutes of their time before they decided I was on to them and they hung up. But I'm glad I got them to hang up on me, it felt like a small victory.

How do you handle those con artists who call you claiming to be from Microsoft and try to tell you they will fix your computer for you?

Yup. I got the fake MS call a few years ago. I never heard about it before that call but since when does MS call you all worried about your computer ?! It was so obviously fake. So I too, fucked with the guy for the longest time ever until he caught on and hung up.
