It's one of the latest scams, ring somebody up, tell them their PC is infected, get remote access and download ALL personal passwords, bank details etc.

Then go on line and spend spend spend!

A good firewall keeps them out so they're getting devious. If you 1471d the call there'd be no number, so no way to trace the scammers and, once they'd been on your hard drive they can get back anytime.

BEWARE!!!

Cyril for mascot, I think that's a great idea.

Mr Spider ,

It was a simple phishing call - mind you I can understand why some folk would fall for it . I mean to tell me I was using Windows 7 hahahahahahahaha.

If I did use a PC I would be exceedingly concerned - but since I don't I just enjoyed myself with her.

At least the time she spent trying to scare the living daylight out of me , wasn't used to scare someone else.

HG - correct - no phone number recorded . I'm well secured so I'm not worried . The only M$S thing on my pooter is M$S Office

Milkman popped in before for his fortnightly cheque and cuppa - "there`s a squirrel digging up yer lawn" he observed through the kitchen window - "Mmmm I know" , I said , "he does the hollow tine aeration for us" ....................!

I then opened the back door and shouted - "Cyril" - he loped across to the side of the house , accepted a nut , and disappeared behind the garage , much to the bemusement of the poor milko...............

interesting.. we only get the red ones here and they're nowhere near as tame.

But we have snow, too. 10cm!

The North American tree rat has usurped most of our reds in the UK.

Still, they're cute and remarkably bold, as Cyril proves.

Apparently there are also black squirrels about. The grey ones really do not like them by most accounts!

Managed a few quick snaps of this chap when we were in New England a few years ago, I've not seen another since but I believe their just a darker coloured Grey, I dont think their a different species.

IIRC they're an unusual genetic mutation of the greys, although I didn't pay too much attention to the article.

Just don't mention Fidelian headshots and I'm sure we'll be fine.

I was going to post this on Davex' thread re the wedding then changed my mind, so here goes...

In a time of massive local authority funding cuts couldn't they just nip down the registry office and have a quick, family only do.

How come the government savings are going to bail out Ireland?

I thought they were to reduce the national debt!

And why, as a citizen, am I lumbered with a 'national' debt?

If I ran my finances like the government do I'd have been arrested for fraud!

Maybe this should go on the pointless thread...
