This phone number gets routed to a call center in India. I have talked to them for over 3 hours and learned several things.
This is the number they specifically said I could use to call back on (ask for "Jon Roy" if you want the last scammer I talked to - he seems to be at work during regular scandinavian working hours).
It is a "Microsoft tech support" scam. They claim you have a problem with your computer. They will then ask you to let them remote-control it to fix it for you (usually using LogMeIn, TeamViewer or Supremo). They will then show you some unrelated stuff and pretend it is "proof" that there is a problem with your computer.
At this point it varies a bit what they will attempt, they may ask you to log into your online banking, they may ask you to fill in a form giving away your credit card details (including security code - they then proceed to empty it), they might password-protect your computer (locking you out) and blackmail you to pay steep fee for a new "license" (they used the password 123654789 to lock my computer last time). They might also ask you to transfer money using Western Union or similar if they are desperate. Theoretically they could also steal all the passwords stored in your browser (to take over any paypal, amazon, etc. accounts you have and go on a shopping spree). It seems to depend a bit on what they think you will fall for, how much money they think you have, and the individual scammers you talk to.
