Telephone Computer Help Warning!!
 
Just received a call offering to clear up all my computer problems, errors, etc. If you should receive such a call hang up! This personal will tell you the website to go to. The scam is obvious. They will get into your computer and plant a virus, malware, or steal your passwords. Never let a complete stranger have access to your computer!!:mad:

Received a call today from a man with an accent saying that he was from Windows and said my PC had a virus. I asked whether it was a cold, the Flu, or something worse, He said not you but your computer. I then asked if he thought chicken soup would help. He reiterated that he was from Windows so I asked if he could wash my windows. He hung up.
