It's a *telephone* scam, Doug. They call you, and tell you that there
are problems with your Windows computer, and that they can repair
them. I don't know what happens when you agree; maybe they have you
log into their site and install malware, maybe they just charge you
for the login. I just don't know. You see, when the caller completed
his opening sentence, I said something very rude which may damage
international relations--and hung up. I use a Mac, and I won't touch
Windows with a vaccinated crowbar. (Personal choice.)

Thanx for the info, Jim. They can expect the same response from me, if
they call. I have Windows, but I seldom log in to it--I do almost all
computing using PCLinuxOS.

Exactly what was done to a good friend of mine, even as far as telling
her they are the national authority for all windows installations and
that she needs
to follow their instructions .... yara yara ...
Well, she was lucking she called me first.
She took the number they called her from and reported them to the local
FBI office.
She never heard from them again. So apparently some other similar outfit
has replaced them.
