My 84 year old mother received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. She too, had fun playing with them. She is a good example of a Luddite when it comes to computers.

One thing you can be sure of is when anyone calls you claiming to be Apache, Microsoft, your ISP etc., it's a scam where they're trying to install malware on your computer. I have had calls from Microsoft about problems on my computer. Funny thing is, I run Linux. I have let them run their line, where they tell me to click on the Start button etc. I then play dumb and tell them I can't see a Start button... I have a bit of fun that way, before they finally give up. ;-) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
