scams

This is the second time in a week now that someone has tried to take me on this scam, so I thought I should write up something quick about it. It is a really simple one - you get a call on the phone from someone claiming to be Microsoft Technical Support, calling about the problems you have been having. And of course given the sheer number of people who have trouble with Microsoft, I guess they get a fair number of people who fall for it. This time I decided to play along a lot further and both kill as much time of theirs as I could, as well as try to find out more information about them.
