I'm guessing that most of you on this board are relatively tech-savvy, but just in case, I've been hearing of a few victims of a Microsoft call scam lately. Indian voice, trying to get the victims to buy virus protection. Spread the word - it's a hassle.

LOL...I played him for 20 minutes before he realized that he was wasting his time.
I've never heard the F word used so much after he realized that I was playing him.

It happened fairly recently in the VIs... It was in the news... The victim lost a few hundred dollars... Unfortunately, the person had a computer failure and received the call within about a day and got scammed...
