I let fly at the poor bloke on the end of the phone the last time they rung me, I hate that they are preying on people who might not know how easy it is for these scammers to rip them off. I hope his ears where burning and that they will never ring me again!!!

I shut down my computer immediately after getting these pop ups now. I hadn't heard about getting phone calls regarding this :roll: what will they think of next?
I would probably go off on them too :D:D:D

I told him I was busy getting meals ready and to ring me back later, by that time I had checked it out. I gave him a blistering when he rang back and told him I had informed the police of his scam and told him not to ring me again in no uncertain terms.
unforunately becasuse it is from overseas they cannot prosecute them.
