Oh yes, it happened to me. At least they tried. :-) But you see, they said that I had a problem in my Windows. I did not phone, they did. And I got no popup. There were several strange things. One, they were speaking to me in English (bad English), and I live in Spain. They knew my name. And they did not know how to cope when I said that I had no Windows, but Linux. They insisted, so I hanged the phone. (ie, their "staff" were not trained to cope with Linux systems) Apparently, they had a list of Spanish phone subscribers with English names, and they phoned them. Many of those (I think) are folk that come to Spain for retirement, so they are old, supposedly easy prey. They were phoning from India or thereabouts. I asked in the forum and they told me that it was a quite common occurrence, only that they were now going round Spain. They tried me several times, then the calls stopped. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
