After reading a post in the Member's Lounge, I thought it might be wise to open a thread for scams doing the rounds. Some of them are pretty plausable. The following is an extract from the post referred to:
Friend got caught a week ago with a PHONECALL alleging to be from Microsoft. An Indian voice, burbling away about anti virus and updating protection. She had been having problems with her box, and (
)ended up giving him her credit card to 'buy' £80 worth of anti virus.
Then she got her brain into gear, thought about what she'd done and cancelled the card.
Please be careful.
