It had to come

If they start making threats about your life then it is time to get the police involved.

I get these sort of calls at least once a week.

They could be

- We are from Microsoft Support

- About that accident you had in the last 2 years

- etc etc

They all get short shift with a two word reply ending in "Off".

My Mother got one last week. She does not even have a computer (Well, she is 96). But she has been briefed by me.

Because she is hard of hearing, she records all her calls just so that she can listen to them again in case they have number and the like that she needs to write down. I listened to her give the guy the brush off telling him about how she flew bombers in WW2 (Delivering planes to squadons) and that she din't fight the Germans just so that he could try to scam her. Wonderful Stuff.
