we were targeted on our home phone the other evening.
someone phones and tells you they been officially appointed by Microsoft to handle this global security concern.
they tell you that they have detected that you have down-loaded some "very dangerous" files, and they have been appointed globally to help customers fix the problem..
a few quick questions like 'which Ip address' , 'what were the file extensions' etc etc soon highlighted the fact that they had no idea what they were on about..
we kept them going for about 30 minutes until dinner was ready, then I just hung up..
so please be cautious, and in particular, warn the slightly older generation who may be easily fooled by this scam.
