Hi Folks,

an acquaintance just happy to mention that he was having an issue with windows7 and shut down his PC. A few moments later he got a call from a foreign speaking gent who said he was calling from the States on behalf of Microsoft as an problem had been flagged and he was obliged to offer assistance with the PC problem. My acquaintance was alarmed and told the guy that he didn't require assistance that his son was computer literate. The caller was a bit put out and said that he would sign off on the incident and tell Microsoft that no assistance was required.

Is this for real?
