this afternoon about 4:00 o'clock I received an unusual phone call on
my landline. A woman asked me whether I had looked at my "computer
management page" as they'd sent me a number of messages lately telling
me I was spreading trojans and worms. In wondered what she actually
meant by "computer management page"?? <<<<
Variations of this call are our most frequent 'spam' phonecalls at the
moment. In particular telling us that there are serious security issues
with our Windows computers. When we say that we only have Macs the call
is cut off; same thing happens if we say we don't have a computer. I
did once let the guy waffle on for ages, pretending to input everything
he asked me to (I was bored and putting off a job I didn't want to do).
When he asked me what I could now see on my screen I spelled out T H I
S I S A S C A M. That also resulted in the phone call ending
somewhat abruptly.
There are so many mallicious calls and emails these days, it's sometimes
difficult to pick out genuine callers.
