****WARNING: BE AWARE OF THIS CON !!!*** We have just had a call on my land line from India from a parasite presenting himself as calling from Microsoft. He told me that they received an error message from my IP address and that Microsoft had asked him to call me. He then told me that he could see me via my webcam, gave a reasonable description of me. He asked me to download and run Team Viewer ( gives remote access to PCs), so that he could fix it. Naturally, I asked for proof of who he was, at least a verification email, suffice to say he couldnt. When I refused to believe him, his frustration became apparent, he then tried to tell me that for £79.99, plus £25... that they could fix the problem for me. I refused and he became abusive - swearing down the phone calling me a tight b*******. IF you get a similar call - dont be suckered in. bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26818745
