He finished with a flourish ‘This phone call is for YOU!’.
You could just about hear him above the rumble of the call centre.

Originally posted by MyUserName View PostI once got an email from a South African mercenary group demanding money.

It turns out it was genuine and above board, it just came to the wrong guy.

Sadly he will be wasting his time as I'll be away on holiday by then.

New phone phishing scam
Got a call from someone yesterday claiming to be from Google. Indian chap who knew my name, phone number and email address, telling me my email address had been compromised and was sending 'threatening' emails to people.
After googling the number - 0344 800 2400 - which comes up as a Microsoft support number I see there is quite a common scam going round. They want to remote your computer or get you to log on to some website or something equally dodgy.
Next time he rings I'm going to tell him the threatening emails weren't from hackers - I actually sent them. Just to see what he says...Tags: None
