A Friend had a very strange phone call from an obvious "outsource" telling me
that the security of his computer was in jeopardy, that his system had so many
viruses that it was going to crash and that the junk mail folder had to be
cleaned.
This does not begin to describe the tone of the woman at the other end of
the phone, who was offensive in her assertiveness and insistence once he
started to question who she worked for and on whose behalf she was phoning.
She said she worked for Primary Security Software which was a national group
that monitored illegal activity on computers and that he had illegal and
compromising files on my system which she was warning him HAD to be removed.
She wanted him to turn on his computer and follow her instructions to clear my
files. When he told her that there was no way he was going to do this she
started the "guilt trip" and told me that if my computer crashed it would be
my fault.
He told her that would be just fine.
