Just to let the list know. I live in Holsworthy and today I had a call
about my computer having problems!! I was ready to have some fun with
it, but unfortunately the caller's accent and English were so bad I
decided not to bother. (It was an overseas call.)

Anyway, it seems that it is still going on. Incidentally I am ex
directory, so they are obviously using a program to work its way through
all the numbers.

Hopefully next time the caller will be easier to understand,

I had one as well last week. After talks about it going on for well over a year I felt a bit left out! Had a bit of fun with "there isn't a start button/orb" etc. When I eventually gave away that I was running Linux he (the Indian chap) actually asked if I had any other computers or laptops running Windows.

At the end he gave a good 2-3 minute in-depth speech about how I actually wasn't infected, which was a load of nonsense but still a good laugh to go along with.
