Possible new phone scam

Friend received a phone call in Spanish this afternoon and advised the caller she didn't speak Spanish. No problem said the Spaniard on the other end as he quickly switched to his best english.

The call went along the lines of - 'we have recieved reports that your computer is interfering with your neighbours computers'. My friend quickly replied 'that can't be'. 'Why ?'' asked the Spaniard, my friend replied 'because I don't' have a computer. 'You don't have a computer ?', no replied my friend. 'What about the laptop you have ?' - to which my friend replied 'what laptop ?', 'I don't have one of them either'. Spaniard then quickly responded 'must have been your tablet', to which when my friend replied 'I don't have one of them' the Spaniard hung up.

Obviously no idea where the conversation was going to lead, but obviously the caller was trying their luck for some reason.
