I’m outside of the US, so I (probably) won’t get that one. A few months ago we got the “oh no, your computer is majorly infected with viruses” calls in town though.
They called SIX TIMES today, 2/21/11 — at 5:13pm, 5:02pm, 4:57pm, 4:43pm, and 9:13am.
Evidently the Federal Trade Commission doesn’t give a rat’s ass. We got a call tonight, APRIL 12, 2011. Guess no one is going to do anything about them.
