When I was in Ireland my sister received one of these messages. I just told the guy that he was 'chancing his arm' as there was no computer there. In fact my computer was there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pauline Lawler" <paulinelawler14@xxxxxxxxxx>

I received a similar call here in Ireland. however I told them I was not the householder aand to call later. After six wasted calls they got the message and I did report it to my service provider.Pauline----- Original Message ----- From: <Clive.Lever@xxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 1:49 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: careful regarding a phone call i just receivedMore disturbingly, are there call centres full of agents who don't know they're conning!

My father in law had one of these calls recently. I gather that the same business minds who are into spamming have turned to the telephone because people are less inclined to believe emails any more. I wonder if there are call centres full of cold-callers out there who know they're just conning people. ...Damon -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 31 January 2011 13:13 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: careful regarding a phone call i just received Will, This is a hoax, a scam. Something identical happened to a friend of mine, and he dealt with the caller by telling him in no uncertain terms that he would go straight to the police and report it, have BT monitor the calls, and basically get to hell. They've never bothered him again, and I would do the same in his shoes.

When I told him I used a mac he went deathly silent and hung up on me, so not sure what this was all about.
