    Not a question.

    Just had a call from the usual Microsoft scammer (Asian) sounding. The difference, this time he was claiming to be calling from Eircom, Dublin 8.
    Looking for access to my computer as Eircom had detected problems with my broadband. He was quite convincing and could catch people out.
    Just thought you should know that they are now claiming to be calling from Eircom
