Mrs. Scruff called me at work and told me she'd taken a call from an Asian character who claimed Microsoft had informed them (PC Masters) that our PC was riddled with a virus from Brazil. They wanted Mrs. Scruff to go to their website for a fix.
She said, 'I don't think so', and hung up.
I googled PC Masters and this is what I found:
forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=2687843
Later, when I was at home, the same people called again.
I said, "I have been expecting your call. I built my computer myself and there is nothing wrong with it. You are a scam and coincidentally I am watching a You Tube video, made by Symantec (it really was a coincidence of perfect timing) about your methods". I placed the phone by the computer speaker and left them to it.
When the video had finished, they had gone, without even saying thanks or goodbye!
