Just got call from some indian call centre bro trying to scam me into allowing remote access to my computer by posing as a microsoft technician.
I'm fairly computer savvy and realised pretty much immediately that there was no way anyone from msoft would call you but played along for a laugh. The funniest part was when he got me to navigate to the windows info file directory then asked me how many files were there. "Are there more than say, 10 files?" (but of course there are more than 10 files in win inf) so I told him there were 1200 and he goes: "Oh god... my god, your computer, it's in critical condition"
Then he tried to get me to open www.logmein123.com, yeah like that's not suspicious.
But the thing that pisses me off is, how the hell do these guys have my phone number?
Yeah I was disturbed to get 2 spam TEXTS a couple of weeks ago saying id won 400,000 pounds. Heard of people ringing home phones but spam texts is a disturbing thing. Don't know how they got my number.

But then today i got a text from civic video in courtenay place,and it was the same number as the spam text (+502 or something)
Does this mean Civic were responsible for the spam texts? Or does it just mean they use the same company to send their texts (I don't know how these things work)
