Triggered by a thread on another topic, I am started this thread to expose some of the internet scams that are floating about trying to catch us out.
The first is the one mentioned by HildaW Someone phones you saying (in a heavy accent) that he/she is from Windows and it is possible that you have a problem. They can sort it online, if you just turn on your computer and do as they say. Then they guide you through some moves and persuade you to hand over some money to them, and to buy a fake "computer maintenance subscription"
Put the phone down on them. There is no way that this is genuine.
Here is a page by Microsoft describing the scam. www.microsoft.com/australia/presspass/post/Microsoft-issues-warning-on-phone-scam
