As the OP I must report that I have had no more calls. This is a bit annoying as I have now decided to try another tactic. Since I really don't have either the time or the inclination to string them along, (since it wastes my time as well), I have come up with a quick way of dealing with it all.The new practise, apparently, from a freelance mailing list I'm on, is to instruct you to install screen mirroring/remote desktop software giving them control of your machine - that way they can install their own malware and even charge you for it. Really nasty. ..also I can confirm that they get really angry and pretty obscene in their insults if you start laughing at their poor grasp of computer networking.

My plan is to say something like this.Wow, you have taken the trouble to let me know that I have a problem. That is so kind, I wish everyone could be so helpful.Anyway, now that I know I will look into it and sort it out. So thanks again, and bye.
And end the call. It will be interesting to see if they call back. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG https://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
