    Just had an asian sounding guy call me, said he was from Microsoft and that my computer had been infected with some virus.. he asked me to type eventvwr into my run window.... I asked him for his name and telephone number he gave me an asian sounding name and a 10 digit number ( I think they were his lottery numbers) I asked him 10 times if he thought that I was stupid... he ignored me everytime and finally the line went dead... THIS IS A SCAM do not be fooled into giving anyone who might try it on with you... :mad::mad:

    Had them phoning a few times

    I just say, "Why would someone from Windows be phoning me when I haven't got a computer?"

    Which sort of throws them a bit.

    I tell them I've kidnapped their wife and I'm eating their children, which would be funny, if it wasn't true.
