Seriously? this scam is still going strong... tell them you run Linux or OSX. Maybe that's an easy way to get rid of them.

I had them the other day. Half way through his opening speech, I said, "Is this that scam that I have been hearing about?"

Guess what....he hung up on me pronto.

They kept phoning, the 3rd time I said I said I didn't have a computer and they stopped.
