I run a repair centre and get customers telling me about these calls, unfortunatly the area where I live has an older generation and some have fallen for it. I cant wait for them to call me, especially at work... please reboot your PC.. comes back 10 mins later and 15 machines booting..

This one's quite old.

Can we please not have any more of these?

Do you work for one of these companies?

I told the last guy I didn't have access to the Internet, or a computer.

Shut him up

Its our duty to mess with these scammers as much as possible, the longer they are tied up on the phone with us computer literate people the less time they will be spending actually scamming other less savvy users.

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.

So where did he say he'd got your details from?

Dave from Harrow recommends them. They got him up and running within an hour. That is more than enough for me to give them £80 a year for unlimited help. They did not appear to ask Dave what color his hair was or what kind of pajamas he was wearing. Donald and Geraldine from Leeds now have peace of mind that they are protected should the worst happen. Not sure what 'the worst' is, but it's presumably some sort of crazed rapist breaking into their home. Good to know that Online PC Master also offer protection form this sort of filth.

Actually I notice that if I pay £139 a year they will also cover my iPhone. Bonus!
