Calling technical support is part of a social engineering attack. One purpose is to gather technical information for later use. Some times when it is not possible to find critical information anywhere it may just be possible to call a technical department and ask for the information while pretending to belong in the organization. The attacker may also attempt to have the technical task carry out seemingly innocent tasks that will later benefit the attacker during an attack.
