Scam phone calls

aardvaak

I have today had a new series of scam phone calls saying the usual that someone else is using my home hub but this time a new phrase has come in with them asking me to go to Google and type "Teamviewer 7.
I obviously didn't but they said what do I see, I said a big notice saying this is a scam get off my *******g line when they get abusive and hang up.
On checking this some form of remote access download.
These people must be a bit simple as surely no body would get taken in by them talking in broken English obviously a long way away.

There is one born every minute, and they only need one

I always wonder why I never get such calls. It would be great fun.

Given most of the cheap ISPs have outsourced support I doubt the broken English would set off any alarm bells. It might add to the authenticity in fact

Teamviewer 7..

Wonder why they're suggesting such an old version of TV ??
These outfits normally have their own blag "support" page that they guide you to with links to download the most popular remote softwares
