    Just got a call from these lads. Sounded Pakistani or asian descent. They wanted to get into my PC and kindly fix it for me as there were malicious software blah, blah, blah. The caller, a female also re assured me that this was not "a sales call". The further we went into the conversation the more obvious it was that this is indeed a scam that will probably take personal details from my PC.
    I asked for their number so i could ring them back and they gave me a very long number and said it was a dublin number..It isnt, so don't ring it.
    Anyway, just said i'd warn fellow members to this. If you google them you'll see what i mean.


    Now thanks to Kenon, i know that i havent posted this properly...Help!

    Anyway, be careful out there.

    Ok, this isn't anything to do with ITB, so I am locking it.
