Yep.  Just like when "Jenny from Windows support" calls saying our 
computer has a virus, and my wife says "hang on, I'll let you speak to 
my husband, he's the one who takes care of the computers around the 
house", they usually hang up, because they don't want to waste their 
time with someone who's going to mess with them for 35 minutes.
