Just had a fun 15 minutes listening to a 'tech' support guy who insisted I connect to his tech support network to free up my computer from 'all those errors that Microsoft programs create very day'

The website he sent me to was www.ammyy.com - at this point I told him he was running scam from abroad and I wasn't going to click on anything on his website.

Not long after the call ended - anyone else had this particular scam ? - it wasn't even very convincing perhaps the next one will do better :-)

My record is 35mins but now I keep a whistle on my desk. I talk very quietly hoping they turn their headset up and then let rip!

Nasty pieces of work - the lot of them!

Having said that, I do make a tidy sum from clients who have been scammed and infected with backdoor viruses. Had one this week in fact.
