I'm sitting here grooving on youtube videos from the 60's and I get this phone call from some guy with a very strong Indian accent trying to scam me about some infection threat on my computer.

I keep asking him "What do you want?" And I can barely understand what he is saying. He wants me to do something on the computer I guess.

Finally I gave up trying to listen to the idiot. I told him my computer was fine. He said... yeh it is now.. .but tommorow...

(...oh I get it, its a computer terrorist. )

I told him this:

"I don't know what kind of stupid scam you are running but you aren't even from America."

Then I hung up.

The nerve of some people.

Be very careful, are you sure it wasn't "Customer Service" calling you back by mistake?

You'll have to cut and paste the URL, sorry I haven't got it figured out how to make it a hot link on here.

Turn up the volume and enlarge the screen, also play it to the very end.

I watched it. That was funny.

nope was definitely a scam, it's called "Microsoft scam" and believe it or not an average person loses 850$ dollars on it. There is an interesting australian news story about this http://www.whycall.me/info/techsupportscam.php

Yep that is what it was! This guy was from India and spoke with an Indian accent. I could barely understand him but he wanted me to go to a website.

I have always felt that giving anyone remote access was very dangerous, even to those sites that claim to be helping you fix a problem with your computer.

No thanks I don't trust anyone that much.

I can't believe people will fall for such things, especially from some foreign speaking idiot.

Besides, I have a policy. I don't buy anything from someone who calls me, and I don't respond to phone calls like that.
