Well, Mack, I'm glad the Nigerian government is trying to help you out. You'd better do as they say, in order to avoid any more scamming attempts by those "hoodlums". :-)

I think I can handle the Hoodlums by myself but I'm worried about the Touts.

The latest one (I think) is phone calls from folks who can't speak good English telling me that I have a virus on my computer and they are working with Microsoft to fix it. What they don't realize is that I'm on dial-up, and if I'm talkin' to them on my phone, I have no internet connection!
They've been bugging me for a few months now, and when I ask for a number to call them back, I hear a bunch of Farsi and "click". The last time I told him "I think this is a scam!"
"You think this is a scam?"
"YES!"
more Farsi--"CLICK."
Why doesn't Microsoft stop these clowns?

If you suspect a scam, tell the caller to speak to your lawyer to finalize the details at "Dewee, Cheetum, and Howe". They'll fall for it every time, because they are DAs.

David:
Bill in Redding, I had the same guy call me two times. Then recently it sounded like the same guy calling about my PG & E gas bill and he could save 15%on my gas bill, and he was calling form Tulsa Ok, so he said, one of the guys about the Gas bill called from California so he said.
Those people that want your help to transfer money can be any one from an Army officer to a Sargent to a private. You cant trust anyone any more.
David have you run across my Son Eric at Oroville Solid waste?

Bill,
Haven't met Eric, but then I seldom go to the transfer station. My best friend in High School (Dunsmuir) was Margie Dugger, but then I think I've asked you if they were any relation you knew of.

David Dewey,

What you mention is one of the latest and greatest.

Guy with heavy accent tells you he is with Microsoft, the exchange on caller ID is the same as MS, and tells you that your computer has a new huge virus that keeps bogging down their server and he'd needs to fix it right away...if you will only log on...

DON'T, just hang up!

For some reason the number has been activated for 6 months, numerous complaints, but no shut down...

He's scary, knows your first name whether husband or wife answer, states your address...

Other complaints say that if you haggle or get cute he starts using the 4 letter word, says what he'd like to do to female members of your family.

I didn't get that far, simply hung up..but when I checked it out that's the story...apparently, he knows how to generate a bogus caller ID from whatever phone he uses.

Ms. Faith Duke of the IMF just emailed me. She has enough cash for all of us to upgrade our Ts'... so it seems.

George, Facebook is a great source for the scammers. names, address, background etc. I guess these are the "shovel ready jobs" potus was talking about!

I have received several calls from a company stating they are working with Microsoft to correct the issue of a virus. They told me my computer was sending multiple messages with a virus attached to it.

I ran my McAfee checker and was all clear. The next time they called I thanked them for their concern that I was infected and then I told them that my virus checker assured me that I had no infections. I was very polite and asked them to remove me from their list while being as polite as I could be and also asked them to not call again because my computer was not infected.

Again, I was very polite and spoke slowly and clearly and assured them that they had the wrong person and the wrong computer. That was six weeks ago and they have not called any more. Even if they are scammers, they did respect my politeness and have not called again.

Our son Steve told us that there is a chance that they have a site that when viewed on something such as youtube will re-direct you to another site which shows you a film while it sends you a little program that messes up your computer. If you view this attachment it will bother your computer with a minor virus and you will get pop-up windows or get re-deirected to other sites. They then know you have bit their bullet and so they call you and for a price will remove the program that is bothering your computer. If you have a good protection program running and keep it up-dated it will not allow their virus to attach its self to your computer. Just do not get re-directed to another site to see a film when you are on youtube or some such viewing station.
