Latest email scam/threat making the rounds

Got a call today from “Microsoft” that I had a virus on my Windows computer. Had fun jerking the guy around for about an hour, “sir, we need you to click on Start”, me, “I don’t see Start”. “Sir, it’s in the bottom left hand corner.” Me: “which one is my left?” This went on.

Oh, just one problem. I don’t own a Windows computer. Haven’t since 1999.

"Sir, which version of Windows do you have installed?"

"Linux."
 
Good stuff!

Dont pay. Make sure you have multiple back up copies. Cover your computer camera - only expose it when using it.
