I know a man who lost 800 euro and would have lost another 7 if Pay pal
hadn't rung him up to check.
When they ring there is usually a long ring and somebody with an Indian
accent will know your name and start the speel, I just tell him to go away
and hang up.

Paul, this is widespread and apparently according to Limerick radio
yesterday some people have not realised it is a scam.

Hi All,
This past week I have had two people contact me in relation to them
receiving phone calls from supposeidly tech people from companies like
Microsoft and MacCafee. The story is that your computer is infected and we
contacted you to let you know its giving off warnings which are causing
other problems. We can take care of it for you and all you have to do is
follow some simple instructions we give you over the phone. I strongly
suggest that you hang up if you get such calls as their aim is to take
over
control of your computer, rummage around in it and see if they can obtain
any credit card details or other types of PIN numbers.
Remember, companies like Microsoft won't call you up just out of the blue
so
be warned.
Paul.
