It definitely sounds like a scam. No reasonable organization would ask you to log into to your computer or ask for account or banking info over the phone. The same thing with emails asking for account info. Here in Canada we can ask telemarketers to take us off their calling list and they're subject to fines if they don't comply. This sounds like an illegal scam so they won't listen anyways.
Good you called the police and do check out the link Yoda gave. Don't be afraid to be rude to these people - they're so pushy and try to be so polite, its annoying. If he calls again, tell him you called the police and your number is tapped - he'll hang up on you. I also like the whistle idea. Lately almost every week I keep getting this electronic cruise call and it bugs me because there isn't a live person to talk to.
When I was first looking for a dog, I came found an ad in the paper for a Yorkie with an email address. I emailed the person and got a response in 5 seconds. She said her / hubby are busy doing missionary work in Africa and they have this adorable Yorkie puppy. They would give it to us for free, all we had to do was pay for $450 shipping. She said they were too busy saving lives to care or the puppy. Now mind you I live in Canada and they're in Africa lol. I fell for it for a second or two. A month later I saw a warning on an online site about this scam.
