Had the funniest call today. On my home line, not business so they're preying on unsuspecting mums & dads. Young bloke, bad English, Indian voice presenting himself as 'Security Dpt from Microsoft' , lots of noise in the background, like a call center. Asks a few questions, trolling around. I had some time (during lunch break) so I got along and fed him some BS sounding like I'm real worried and don't know what to do see where that's going. Because he is telling me in broken english that someone has downloaded my 'Microsoft junk folder'
... to cut a long story short he asks me to go at my computer and type:
http:// l..o..g..m..e..i..n.. and here comes the number...
So I just said well no I'm not going to do that. I'm in the industry and I've got your call traced... *cut* busy tone...
I can understand how a lot of people get worried and get scammed by those operators.
