The "I'm from Microsoft and we detected a virus on your computer" shtick is pretty common in Europe.
Usually callers from Pakistan/India, and they are not bothered if the person they call doesn't even have a computer like my father...

I got a lot of these for a while (last year or so). They're quite easy to identify since they're talking in English, and I normally don't get any calls in English.
