Phone scammers active.

[spidy]

I received a phone call today informing me that my PC was infected.
A guy with an Indian accent who was very insistent that I turn on my PC and he would talk me through removing the virus.

He stated a few times that he was with TELSTRA ( I am with another service provider)
He came out with a couple of things that I have never heard before.

The first one was that Telstra was going to suspend my account for SIX MONTHS if I did not do as he said.
Secondly he said that once on my PC he would give me a security identification number that was only issued to Telstra employees.

All very sneaky. So beware of these scammers using these new methods.

I decided to tell him exactly what I thought of scammers. He was not happy and he decided to hang up.
