I got one of those last year from Norton, telling me that they had just billed my credit card to renew my anti-virus subscription…… and that I was to call a certain number if I had any questions.
I probably responded in exactly the wrong fashion; I called the number.
Some guy located in India answered the phone.
After telling him that I don’t use Norton products, and haven’t in almost 15 years, he told me that he was going to have to look at my computer and asked me to download a certain program so that he could do that.
That’s when I said “Sorry, Charlie” and hung up.
I no longer remember the program he referenced, but I did look it up at the time- it’s a program designed to allow a third party to take control of your computer.
Boy am I glad I hung up before downloading that program!!
But come to think of it, that’s about the time I started receiving spam text messages for ED medications and penile enhancements…. So there’s that…
