I mean all of this post completely serious and polite but also HIGHLY URGENT.
A guy called my home claiming he works for windows/Microsoft.
He showed infected files I had and had software on his computer to be able to control other people's computer stuff.
He downloaded something to my computer a chat thing.
He also changed my SysKey and he said something like "send me 149 dollars to get a Windows XP upgrade".
I did not send him money luckily.
However although I am in the top 10 most intellegent safety experts on
planet earth, he even had me tricked.
My eMachines windows XP is now unplugged.
Please if you get a call like I did hang up and unplug your computer for about 72 hours but at least 2 hours I recommend.
Also while very very very rare that a scammer means physical harm, please report all scammers especially those who wish to do physical harm to targets.
