I got one of these at home a few weeks ago. I put on my very best broad Norfolk accent (think "hillbilly" for the Americans amongst us) and said "ahhh, my boy deals with that doh hicky, hang on, I'll pass you over"
To four year old son: "it's for you" Son: "heeeeloo, you happy today? Where grandma? I'm having my breakfast." They hung up. From: Stefan Jafs [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 February 2013 00:42 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Tech support call from "Microsoft" Just got off the phone from a not so computer savvy friend of mine. He had a call from "Microsoft" from WV a technician with a very tick Indian accent, apparently my friends computer was infected and kept sending out spam to a server but the technician assured him that he would fix it, just connect with TeamViewer and he'll fix it. My friend said to me it must be real because he had called 3 times and even left a phone number! Luckily he got a bit suspicious and called my on his cell, I told him to immediately disconnect the TeamViewer session. I don't think the technician had enough time to do anything malicious before he was disconnected. I asked my friend to do a system restore from a few days ago. How can people be so gullible?
