Good afternoon all

I have just received my regular monthly call from people from the Indian sub continent pretending to represent Microsoft and attempting to access my computer. Please be aware that Microsoft NEVER telephone their customers, most if not all of their communication is via email. If you receive a call from these Microsoft scammers, they will invariably have an Indian or Pakistani accent. In order to get rid of them just ask them to confirm the name and address that they have on file for you, they will disconnect immediately. Alternatively just cut the beggars off . Regards diigsie

Yes, never give or confirm your name. When asked by name say that person is very ill or dead and you only have a "doors" computer to waste their time.
