I just visited www.onlinesupport.com, it would surprise me if they actually have anything to do with that scam.<p>They are based in Canada and even raised some money for charity according to their site.

"Anyway, If you ever receive such a call, do not follow along"<p>But then perhaps stringing them along means less time for them to be calling other people who may not be aware of this scam?

Curious, did anyone from here ever received such a call? Wondering if they always use the same company name/domain and other things they say.<p>thanks,

I think you mean phishing, not pishing. :)
