				today is my birthday. im 31 now. when i got home today i get a phone call from microsoft tech support. they said i had malware on my pc. i gave them access to my pc. they even added themselfs to my skype. they said they could fix my pc for a fee. i told them i needed to talk to my dad about payment call back in a few days. they said ok and we hung up. i contacted a friend of mine. he said microsoft doesnt call you it sounds like a scam to me. sure enough he was right. i went to google and typed in microsoft scam. and there it was. people talking about it. microsoft's official website mentioned it as well. oh after they cleaned ur pc you would have to reinstall windows. if you all need more info let me know in this forum. im looking at for you all !!!! cdjames

				When I got that call, I booted up my old do computer and started running windows 2.0 and had the guy walk through on there.   After about 15 minutes of the guy getting increasingly frustrated he finally hung up on me.   I love screwing with telemarketers

				Ok, I'm not a huge fan of being mean to people but when you are trying to rob me,  all bets are off.  I feel bad fire some of the folks that have that job for legit companies but I tend to be some what fun with them.   The obvious scams though,  all bets are off... that and political calls,  dint get me stayed on those.
