I knew it is was a scam, but I played along to see what he wanted me to do. <img src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" alt="Smile" border="0" /> <br /> <br />He asked me to go to this website <br /> <br />www dot ammyy dot com <br /> <br />download a program call "Ammyy Admin", and installed it on my PC (don't do it). <br /> <br />If you search for "ammyy scam," you will see similar incidents. For example: <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.austinpixelsandbytes.com/2010/11/15/ammyy-scam/" target="_blank">http://www.austinpixelsandbytes.com/2010/11/15/ammyy-scam/</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest26-8694</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu, Aug 8 2013, 3:49 pm EDT<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Weak computer scam</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">An "unavailable" number kept calling so I finally decided to answer. I was told by a "Microsoft" representative that they were receiving feedback from my computer that could be harmful to my computer and anyone I emailed. They wanted me to go to the computer so they could walk me through some steps to resolve the problem. Since the call came mid-day, they were hopeful of getting an older person who knew nothing about computers. Maybe 1/2 right, but not stupid! Once I said she had to be kidding, and she really didn't expect me to fall for this, she just said " OK, OK, OK." By the way, she did not have a mid west accent. If you have an senior citizen in the family, you might pass the word.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
