There is an error on your computer...

Just got a call from Online PC Masters who told me I had a virus on my computer. Really? Tell me more I replied. The guy then went on to explain how they got my details and that if I gave them access my computer they could fix it.

02033180604

After a ten minute call we got onto the subject of work and I told him what I did for a living. Yes I am a security analyst. Do you know what that involves?

He hung up.

I put this up in case less informed users get the same call. But I think most on here would know better.

I have their phone number to if anyone wants a virus removed? Lol

Added number. Remove if it breaks any rules.

Hopefully they call back and I can try and string them along for longer.

They could put things onto your friends computer to track account details and everything. Didn't see this post but I would recommend not using the computer until properly checked.

They could get everything off the computer, email details, passwords, bank account details, etc.

I would warn your friend if I were you

This one's quite old.

Can we please not have any more of these?

Do you work for one of these companies?
