If this isn't happening with opensuse users, it is a testament to the awareness of our users, not the inherent security of Linux. 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.
We mess with those stupid people. Tracie had one ready to get a technician to "fix" our tornado's. It was stormy day and there were tornado's about so she said we didn't have any windows but we had some bad tornado's, could they fix them. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.
