I finally got one of the calls from one of the windows scammers telling
me my computer is sending error messages. He caught me at a good time
when I was taking a break and had time to play.

Of course,I thanked him for calling and told him how scared I was that
my computer was broken and he offered help. Fist, I had him wait while
my computer booted up. (I was reading some news on it at the time)

I was amazed at the detail he gave me. Told me to use my finger to
press the Windows key. I asked him what finger. Oops, I used my thumb
and have to start over.We finally got to the point of typing a URL.

He said type www. Oh, I typed wwww. He said no, three w's..OK threew.
That went on for a few variations then we got to the type dot. OK I
have wwwdot.

After about 20 minutes he called me a mother f... and hung up.



I actually know someone who did something like that simple because he
was so dumb.


He could not get his email setup and over the phone I could find no
errors in what he was entering.


When I go there , instead of using the "@" sign, he entered the word "at"


sheesh
