Just received a call on my landline from an overseas gentleman called " Jack Williams ",
he informed me that he was a security manager working for Windows and my computer was infected by a program that can access my online banking account.
He asked me to switch on my laptop and read out my IP address and passwords (yeah right), so I made a cup of tea and told him I was at the computer, gave him a false IP address, he then asked me for my password, at this point I said..
I'll give you my password if you give me your security ID number so my police officer wife can verify it.
His voice changed from polite to aggressive, with the reply. "Mother f..ker".
I know most people on this site are quite savvy when it comes to this type of scam, however we all know someone who is vulnerable, so please tell as many people as you can.
Thanks.
M
