    Yep...they still work that scam. It must get some people, otherwise they'd stop.

    My parents got the same thing a while back. Luckily they were headed out and didn't have time to take a call. My mom's laptop is an old thing and has tons of issues, so they'd probably have been sucked in.

    Glad they were lucky.

    Hope you gave them a heads-up for future calls.

    Yep. They asked my sister who happened to be home and has a Mac and she thought it sounded odd, so she asked me about it.

    I think the grab with most people is that a lot of them have 'something' wrong with their computers in some way, so they go hmmmm...maybe...

    Sadly a lot of these calls pretending to be a tech support line or Microsoft Support get through!
