Scam Caller

Beware of someone calling you, with a very heavy accent, with a telephone number of: 1-245-897-6589. They claim that there is a problem with "Windows" on your computer and want you to push the "Windows key and R". Hang up...they are trying to gain remote control of your computer. When I didn't fall for their scam, they told me "to go to hell!" and hung up.

It was Avi, of Cafetreenet fame.

He is a well-known rogue and scoundrel.

He does this all the time to try to make some money

Received the same call yesterday but now they've masked their number.
I screamed BULLSHIT!!! in the phone and they hung up.
