CLSID Scam Phone Call Trolling

So I received a call from the "help and support centre" stating that my ip address is giving warning flags. They claim that there are warning flags because my computer is infected with malware that is preventing certain "services" to work. I knew this was complete bullcrap, so I placed my phone on speaker beside my microphone and recorded it. Note: The CLSID Scam is based on tactics of fear, where first they would lead you to a log that Windows keeps of errors. They would claim that these errors are from the malware preventing Windows from working properly. However these errors would probably have occurred anyways if there wasn't any malware. (I prevented them from doing this step to me) Second, they would lead me to access "assoc" through "cmd (Command Prompt)". "assoc" is meant to edit what file extensions associate with what file type. For example, a .txt would associate to a plain text file and a .jpeg would associate to a type of image file called Joint Photographic Experts Group. More importantly, they want to confirm your "computer-id" through the CLSID which is at the end of the command prompt if you type "assoc" into it. It usually looks like this: .zfsendtotarget=CLSID\{ 888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062}. Now if your CLSID is the same as mine, don't worry for this CLSID number is not as unique as the scammer claims it is. However the scammer tactic is to make you think that they are legit by magically reciting that common number. People that aren't that familiar with computers would probably fall into this trap. Then the damage starts. Once the scammer believes that you have been fooled, he (in my case she) transfers you to a "rescue department with "Microsoft Certified" technicians to screw you - I mean - help you with your non-existent malware problems. They make you give him (English is strange where him also can be her) remote access with AMMYY or LetMeIn. God knows what happens you let this happen.
