[GLLUG] Fishy Phone Calls

[Michael P. Flaga]

Mom called (from Detroit) last week about such, a call. She refused and
demanded their number so I could call them back. Of course they wouldn't.

The real kicker was at the time her login was jammed with growing *******'s
It took 2 hours to find out she just bought another USB keyboard and it as
under book. And convince her they did not do it.

Thanks for the link, Kami.  I wondered if they were after money or control
of other PCs.  I thought it was funny what Troy Hunt did to them.
