Subject: Re: [LUG] More Scam Phone Calls

A few years ago there was a post on the lug from someone who had
carried the pretence as far as possible and learned what they do.  It
seems they ask you to type something that brings up a message on the
screen that is rarely seen and they say yes that confirms there is a
virus and they offer to remove it for money. At that point he switched
off.  I can't remember more but it is in the archive somewhere.

When they tried ringing me, they tried telling me that yellow warnings about dhcp in the event log were
the sign of a virus.
