    You can't say they're all scams, I made $100,000 off one of those emails once.

    I think if you get one you should go for it OP, it's probably legit.

    I've never received one by email (thanks gmail), though I did receive one here on Boards a few months back.

    If anything pops up on your computer while on the internet make sure and click it.

    Two members of my family recently received one of those scam phone calls from India telling them their PCs were being taken over by hackers.

    One was my gran, who isn't the most computer literate person in the world. Absolute scum preying on the gullability of some eldery computer users.

    My gran got a call recently too, was quite surprised for this to happen so close to home!

    My family home is getting several of these calls on a monthly basis. Pain in the hole.
