HI ALL!! Microsoft on the phone to fix your computer. It's a SCAM
" She got a mind of her own, and she use it well, mighty fine she's one of a kind, on the seventh day my eyes were all a glaze, we've been ten thousand miles, been in fifteen states, every woman seemed to fade out of my mine, I hit the bottle and hit the sack and cried, what's all this laughter on the 22nd floor, it's just some friends of mine, and their busting down the door, been a lonely night at the .... " Well I am sure you have ALL gotten the call. It's a weird number and there this guy on the other end with a HEAVY India accent. He's telling you that Microsoft has been receiving information that your computer is INFECTED!! And he is calling to help you resolve the problem. He gives you some instructions to go to your computer and do some key strokes. At this point I tell him that a message JUST popped up on the screen. " What's it say?" he asks. And then I SCREAM into the phone " FUCK YOU AND DON"T CALL HERE AGAIN!!!!" And hang up. I have had one person call me back, about five minutes later, and I just screamed at him again. Today I did some web surfing and found a guy who took the call all the way to the end. They end up down loading a remote operation program and then take you to Paypal. They tell you it will be $159.00 a year, or $499.00 for life time coverage. This guy told him to Fuck Off. The caller then went into the computer and deleted files, pictures, documents, etc. Then deleted the program that allowed him to get online. No problem for this guy, he was a computer wiz, and in fact had allowed the caller into a secondary computer and really lost no files, they were all fakes any way. Just very bizarre, I just don't let it go that far. It DOES make for great entertainment however! Not much else going this week, another trip to the Chiro, and I should mow the yard SOON. CHOW MOI!!
