stop useing your real name for your user name when you create an email
account, facebook, twitter etc.
all they need is your real name from emails,facebook twitter etc. which most
people do.
they are being hacked several times per year but usually don't tell you about
it.
then do a reverse phone number lookup
from many on line databases.
there are hackers that compile hundreds of thousands of names and phone numbers
from public records and sell them to these callers and fishing emails.
they get thousands of dollars per month when they sell other hackers these
lists.
and have you noticed how paypal uses your full name every month when they send
you a link to your monthly statement? how secure is this?
if you also use your full name on your paypal account they would only have to
guess your password if they don't have it already from facebook or twitter
because most people use one password for everything.
the most popular password people use is password, or 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

No it has absolutely nothing to do with you starting, or restarting your pc.
Nowadays, I keep mine on 24/7 with absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Subject: OT: Annoying Window Technical Service Calls from India or where
ever
Hello,
On my last system, a Win 7 system, it seemed when ever I started up my
computer, shortly after, I would receive a call from a person telling me
they were from the Windows Technical Service, or something like that.
So far,every call, which are probably two or three dozen by now, have all
been
from people with thick accents from some far away place.
I knew these guys were up to no good, but I would like to get rid of
them calling me.
Thought when I change systems, I would sease getting these calls. Not
so.
I have Software to rid my system of viruses and Malware, but still these
folks keep calling.
Anyone here find a solution to stop these people from calling?
I have started to play along to see what they will do. Even I need
entertainment.
But, I am getting bored and they amazingly seem to really get upset when
they find out I've been playing them along. totally halairious at
times, but now I really just need to stop the calls.
Anyone have good advice?
Grumpy Dave
