As a FYI this scam is going around again. Someone (Asian or Indian) calls up as your computer has "something" on it...

One of those losers called me last night on my land line. I'm on St. Croix. I told him to go f@ck himself.

I had one too a few weeks ago. He told me "I'm calling about your windows". I told him my windows were just fine, but filthy dirty. So if he wanted to come and clean them, we could talk. He said "No, no, I'm talking about your WINDOWS! Do you have a PC?" I told him I did, and it was dirty too. He hung up on me just as I was starting to have fun. 🙂

That's pretty much the same routine I did last time. I'm calling from Microsoft about your Windows. Windows what? Do I have a computer? A what? A PC, A what? You use the internet? I have this little TV with a picture of an apple on the outside. Click,:D

They called me yesterday. I wish I was more creative than "I don't have a computer, don't call me back." You are too funny watruw8ing4 😀
