Just had a phonecall from an Asian guy saying he worked for MS Windows. He was saying he was monitoring my computer and said it was being attacked and my hard drive was being eaten up. He told me to open explorer and enter in the address bar www.amyy.com or something like that. I did it but didn't press enter to view the webpage then confronted him saying i had norton and i didn't trust what he was saying. I then said id contact my own PC advice if i had any problems, he hung up!! Any advice was he scamming trying to access my files etc  |

What were they trying to do? listened to a recent case of this on R5L yesterday. They Want you to sign up to fake antivirus software that then allows them to access your passwords/online banking etc the person who fell for it had to change all his cards, online details etc |
