Quote ="Georgie Best on a Bloomer"I had a very odd phonecall this morning from an Asian-sounding bloke who said that I'd reported problems with my computer. He'd got the initial and surname right (and phone number) presumably only using the Phone Book for cold-calling.
However, he implied that he knew I'd been having problems and was I using Windows XP or Vista? I told him neither, so he then asked if I used a Mac. I don't. At that he seemed to get all confused, went through the XP or Vista questions, then the Mac question and finally said there must have been a mistake and hung up. (I actually run the Linux OS, but it's obvious that he'd never heard of it and I wasn't going to to give him any foothoold at all!)
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I've checked on the net and can't find any reference to anything like it!'"
I happen to work in the internet banking industry security department, and this was indeed a scam!
would you please send me your credit card details and i will make sure that you are never targeted again in this manner!
