Sarbajit -
And here we thought it was you!
Pranking Nick is just mean, but maybe you could give Doug a ring and
tell him you can fix his Bluetooth/WiFi problem if he just gives you his
credit card and bank account numbers and the keys to his BMW Motorcycle...
We could all have a party and help you spend out his accounts ordering
stuff online... Do you think he's gullible enough?

This scam has been around for years

I've gotten a few of those over the past few days from similarly
accented people trying to tell me that my Windows machine was
infected with a virus, but the callers' numbers were blocked.
No, I didn't bother to Linuxize them, although that would have
been fun.

Can anybody confirm this as a new form of pfishing?
I got a call from a number in DC today, somebody with a strong
Indian sub-continent accident, telling me that my computer was
sending error messages to the network and offering to help me
correct them. (I have the number in my phone trap, and would
report it if I knew where to report it to.) The next step
involved my going on my computer and connect it to them, I
assume. These guys were pretty bad at what they were doing,,
but I can imagine a more subtle line that I might have fallen
for.
Does anybody recognize this?
