I've played along with them twice now. I pretend to press the keys they ask me to, and when I'm supposed to tell them what message popped up, I've said "oh no, it's a message warning me not to listen to the BS from scammers calling from "Microsft" to help with my computer". Today's response was "OK, goodbye", but when he didn't hang up I asked him if people were actually falling for his BS, he kind of laughed and then hung up. The last time I played along, the response was a bit harsher, the caller actually said "F you and F your mother, you F-er". Part of me was mad at that, but I got a little satisfaction knowing I got to him, even if just a little bit.
