Been getting email warnings re
1 online banking
2 paypal about to close your account
3 scam warnings re your account with a banks I don't even have business with etc etc etc
most is picked up as spam but some gets thro'
+ Phone calls from "Microsofts call center Oxford" (with an Indian accent
)
Saying my computer is corrupt & they will talk me through installing a patch, they get you to load a program that freezes the machine & then want your card details for the release code
see-

A variation is as above but FREE & you load their key logger on your machine, then they upload ALL your secure data.
But the latest (& best so far) just last wk -
is that-
"our records tell us that your computer is runing slow as it is filling up with child porn down loads (from a new virus) & the police have softwear that checks all computers for this kind of thing & are prosecuting everyone found, as pedophiles.
Now sir if you switch on your computer I will talk you through.........."
I bet that will worry a lot of people perticulaly with sensitive jobs.
I preferred giving my bank details to Nigerian Princes helping the sick children.... at least you could trust them
