A couple of days ago my hubby took a phone call from 'Victor' saying he was from Windows 7 and that someone was trying to hack his computer. When told that it was his wifes and she was not available, caller asked if he would turn on the computer, hubby refused repeating that it wasn't his computer so no! 'Victor' said he would call back the next morning between 10am and 11am

Just to confirm my suspicions I rang my computer man who said that no-one from Microsoft would ever contact me by phone.......

To cut a long story short - sure enough 'Victor' called the next morning at 8am whilst we were still in bed (keen or what?)
He wasn't taking no for an answer even after I called him a "con man/fraudster" etc, he said he would call back in an hour or so
I wont repeat what i said next but he didn't call back...someone else did I just put the phone down!!!!

Heard no more since

I had one of those a couple of weeks ago, I told the voice that he was a criminal and he laughed and agreed with me, he then asked what I was going to do about it, which had me nonplussed so I hung up. Mind you, I've not had any more junk calls since.
