I am not a PC buff but I really enjoyed the Video. Had a good laugh. I will not get so stressed if I get one of these calls again, may even try having a bit of fun myself. Thanks0

Feel free to flame me, you will be talking to yourself though.
Bingo, nail on the head. I feel sorry for the thousands of people you support. I bet your phone is quiet.Pants0 -
Your both wrong. Anyone working in IT long enough would know that sometimes Anti virus's and internet firewalls mistakenly believe things to be harmful when they are not. This should have been resolved in 2 posts if you both had the experience you say you have, not 50.0

Got this at the CAB last week. Told them they were a scam and I was going to call the Police. Put it on loudspeaker for the rest of the advisors to hear. He then said f off and hung up.0

thanks and the problem with me, is that the prats are my entertainment
yeah, we have a new tele system going in soon where we will be able to do some good form of tracing. As much as we can from our end anyway.0 -
My Bullguard did not report any virus.
Unfortunately, I have prepaid mobile BB and this sort of thing eats my allowance, so I will need to watch the video somewhere else.Who having known the diamond will concern himself with glass?
