Just got a call from the windows hacking prevention centre:joyous:.

49 minutes on the phone with the idiot before he realized that I was taking the **** out of him.

I then told him I have a mac :biggrin:.

I had a call like this a while ago. Jumped through his hoops, asked me to check the event viewer and any "errors" there meant people were stealing my money. How I kept it together I will never know but about 45mins later when asked for my credit card details for them to "safety check" them they still didn't get it when I gave them the name "Mr I P Freely" although I think they twigged when I read out my card number as 123456.....etc. Best 45 mins ever!

It is very funny however i have now heard this from a lot of customers houses and it is very worrying as a lot of them are elderly.

It is very upsetting just how much information about ones personal circumstances is available for these scammers starting with your phone number

Yeah, caught my friends 84 year old Dad.
Took £100 straight off his card and left his PC locked.
Took hours to get PC cleaned up.
Had to change credit card as well.
B******s want hanging.
