  • UK Technical Support Scammers Arrested

    Four people have been arrested after a two-year investigation by Microsoft and British police forces into telephone scams which prey upon the vulnerable, tricking them into believing their computers have been infected by malware.

    Well, that's one less phone call I'll receive each day!

      Nice one.

      I hope they will be put to work doing something worthwhile though rather than just taking up jail cells. Hard labour might do them good, plus having to work for some of the people they have scammed.

      I also hope they are completely relieved of their ill-gotten gains.

        Oh dear I used to enjoy playing them along....
        The telephone has rung a lot less since I started using the Plusnet Phone barring system. From 4 to 5 calls a day to less than one call and a 80% chance of it being a real call.
