Comment Mum kept getting Calls (Score 3, Informative) 272

My mother kept receiving calls from some company claiming to be IT support and trying to get her to visit a website to update her machine as there records show it being infected. She always says that my son deals with that sort of thing and she will just not switch the computer on until I have checked it. One day they called while I was there so I spoke to them, they always mumbled the name of the company, I asked them for their company registration number as I needed to check they are a legitimate company. They try to get me to visit there website where I can see that they are legitimate, eventually they give me a number which was about 12 digits too long for a company registration number I tell them I can't find anything about them at Companies House and eventually they give.
