I've just had another call, saying my computer may have downloaded malicious programs that may effect Windows and my computer.
I first pretended to be shocked and frightened when she said that my computer had been infected.
She said what we need you to do, so we can check if you've been infected is to turn your computer on. Then I said hang on, but... I don't have a computer. "You don't have a computer?" No. "You have a laptop?" No. How can this happen when I don't have a computer or a laptop, I asked. She hung up. My acting skills are not the best.
What is this all about? Is this the scam call that I've heard about? I have had one before where I said you're just trying to get my details and hung up on him.
What should I have done. I got the distinct impression that they knew I had a laptop, the way she asked. So how would they find this imformation, or is it just guess work on their part?
Any ideas?
