No probs, I'm very hard to offend!:up:

Fortunately all these emails land in my spam inbox, so I can just sit down and laugh at them at my leisure.

All the better with a Hamm's; whether yer hard or not!:har:

I get these hispanics with heavy accents saying they are from mircosoft saying something is wrong with my OS and they want me to turn on my computer and get access to 'fix' it. sure I get these about once every two months. Sounds like they are calling from a large boiler room lots of talk in the background.I don't know how anyone can fall for this.I can barely make out what they are saying. but I guess some do.

We also get that here in the UK...someone must be falling for it to make it worth their while.

It is amazing that people do fall for these stories. :doh:

Datapoint

A few years ago, The Frau was working at a computer security company. This company's business was educating other businesses on safe computer/E-mail practices and in the designing of more secure networks.

Back when the "I love you" virus came out, her company's E-mail was computerized. Evidently, many (not just several) of the employees of this computer security company, opened up the virus E-mail. :/\\!!:/\\!!

The Frau was livid. How can people who work for a computer security company, whose business areas is keeping businesses safe from viruses, fall for this virus attack!

It is bizarre. :nope:

You can try and make a system fool-proof, but there are some very determined fools out there!
