Bt warning

Hi Everyone

I am sure its been mentioned but better safe than sorry, a large number of false bt emails about security are doing the rounds at the moment.Also I recieved a phone call this morning from someone claiming to be from Bt claiming I had some unwanted virus on my computer and that if I let him take control he would sort it out.I sais no and when I mentioned I had internet security he just hung up.The call came from the following number 001517070741.If I am not allowed to post number please delete.

cheers muppet

Please be aware that no one, not even your ISP can know what you have on your computer, but that said you can have amazing fun and waste the time of these people in lots of ways.
For example when I speak to them they ask me to get some information so start by asking what the want you to do and when they ask you to hit certain buttons or what ever just say you are doing it.
They will probably ask you what is on your screen so just say "nothing" they might go through some more things with you but the final point for this will be that your computer is not turned on.
If you get as far as turning your computer on leave them holding for ages and keep telling them it is starting up, I would say a good 10 minutes if you can, once you tell them it has started up and they ask you to do certain things tell them OK but take as long as possible pretending you don't know what they are asking etc and that your computer is not connected to the internet.
If they don't hang up eventually say you have connected to the internet and your Linux PC is working really well.:rotfl:
