No! just advice!

No, I'm not trying to seek brownie points for my posts but! Just had a call from India I presume telling me my P.C Is infected even though I pay to Norton's, If I can, please be aware of these People either by your Land line or via your P.C. If you receive an email to the effect " DELETE IT" I understand once you commit yourself it will cost you £170 for sod all. BE AWARE.

[ummmm]

Thanks. Already knew all about it, but, thanks anyway :-)

They rang me the other day. I just told them I was aware of this scam and not to ring me again. I'm sure they will try again anyway!

I have caller ID so I just don't answer the phone.

I have two words ready for the moment I receive a call from these scammers, the second one will be "off" !

I had a call this afternoon. I just hung up.

The first being 50% ?

I had this too. Must be the time of year. Unless they work their way through the alphabet and you all start with J too.

I had one of these calls too. He said, 'Madam you have a virus on your computer' I said I think not and said goodbye. Its a good chance that anyone they call will have a computer.

When I complained to the Telephone Preference Service, they told me they had absolutely no power over incoming calls from overseas. Just look and see if "number withheld" is shown and if it is do not answer or simply tell them to remove your number immediately from their lists. Personally, my golden rule is if I want something, I initiate a call - never the other way round!

I often have a bit of fun by asking their name- are they having a good day etc. Then admit that I can't find my computer but I'll go and see if I can borrow one. Without waiting for an answer I put the phone down - but don't hang up. They're paying for the call so I leave them to mutter to themselves !

My inbox has a lot of annoying spams. But no calls yet. Thanks for the advice though.

If I had a call like that I would say Well you will have a job because I don't have a computer. But I do have caller ID so probably would not answer it.

[angieb63]

i had the same call to but just said mine was workin fine although i do think i need to scan it but that call was about 2 month ago

I have had two similar calls recently, each time they tell me that my computer is infected I act really surprised and say something along the lines of 'well that's strange' they then say something like yes that is why I am ringing you, and I then go on to tell them it is strange because I don't have a computer!, they can't get off the line quick enough haha, Even though we have several pcs/laptops in the house:)
