He asked if I was near my computer and if I could turn it on. Actually, the computer was not in my house and not turned on because my computer was on it's way to our house in Florida as my roommate was driving down and took my computer with him. I asked if there was a charge to fix the computer and Mac Jordan said if it was out of warranty that there was a $79 charge. Of course, it is out of warranty. He told me I could call him back when I had access to the computer. Has this happened to anyone or anyone heard of this? I think it is a scam but don't know how to proceed.

About twice a month.
Next time you get the call.........ask where he is calling from; the answer will make you laugh.
