[QUOTE="filipeduardovic, post: 1675547, member: 201073"] Twice, I have been telephoned by individuals (self-declared representatives from Microsoft) warning me of a terrible virus affecting my computer. They were prepared immediately to help me eradicate it. I let them talk, then announced that my platform was Mac (mostly but not totally true) and hung up. I know of someone who was not suspicious of a caller and lost a large sum from her credit card. Probably someone could invent a scheme for Mac involving telephones and credit cards, so I mention this as a warning not to place confidence in such calls. [/QUOTE]
