A friend of ours who is very smart, and has never been tricked into anything, unfortunately is very computer unsavvy. He and his wife have had their computer about 8 years now, but are still at the stage of if I say "Save the file in My Documents" to them I have to write doen a list of keystrokes for them to be able to do it.
Anyway they got one of these calls and got sucked in. Rang me up and wanted to know how "The Windows People" knew there were viruses on their computer. Told me that they had allowed access and thought it was really impressive watching someone esle control their mouse etc. Told them to immediately unplug the modem, and sure enough they "Windows Peaple" rang back complaining that the connection had gone down.
Luckily nothing drastic had been done and I was able to fix the couple of things that had been done.
Even smart people are not always computer savvy.
