Another "Cleanup Post"

I had a client today who told me that a "company" called him and said  his PC was generating massive error messages and this needed to be stopped.  My client paid an unknown sum to have his PC "fixed".  Don't buy it.  It's a scam.

No reputable company will call you and offer to "fix" your pc, stopping it from generating traffic.  All they want is your financial information to charge you or distribute it on websites. My client's caller had an obvious overseas accent. 

So advise any callers that you are not interested, and hang up the phone.  Better be safe and keep your financial data secure.
