Greg;
Like Terry said, we sometimes get these calls from someokne claiming to be 
from Microsoft, and the caller has a very heavy foreign accent (but get 
this, an American name like John or Sally or something like that.)
We just hang up on them.
Henry

I get phone calls, all the time, saying there is a virus on my computer.  I 
just hang up.  There is no way they would know, especially when I was not 
even on the computer!

They are spamming PC's in the same way. I got this alarm one day saying I 
had to call Microsoft and it was beeping and all this noise. It mentioned my 
internet provider and said if I turned off my computer I'd lose everything 
in it. I called my Internet provider and she knew the scam well and told me 
to turn it off, unplug the router from the modem and the modem from the 
cable coming in for a minimum of five minutes and run my antivirus 
immediately. No more problems just as she said it would be. But, they wanted 
me to call this number so they could make me pay money to do what the 
internet people did for free.

Thanks for this heads up. I heard on the news the other night that hackers 
had gotten into the Mac computers, and were holding them ransom, and you had 
to pay a large amount for the code to unlock your computer.
Be extra careful everyone.
