I've gotten similar calls -- but they end when they discover
that I'm not running Windows. :-)

They start out by claiming that my Windows computer is spewing
out spam. :-) (Since the only machine with Windows on it is turned on
perhaps once or twice a year, and certainly was not on then ... :-)

Oh yes -- it is also behind the firewall in a way to prevent it
from even reaching the outside net -- let alone letting the net reach in

Be warned, these assholes are out there and seem to be multiplying.
It's too bad one can't send a 750KV spike direct to their computer or
phone during one of these attempts, isn't it?

Indeed so. Them and others of the ilk -- computer related or
other scams.

Thanks,
