Windows XP users: Beware of scammers

April 18, 2014

The phone calls from scammers telling you your Windows XP system is infected have begun once again, just one week after Microsoft pulled the plug on XP support. I got a call on Monday from a bogus caller ID and a voice with South Asian accented English. The connection was poor, but he addressed me by name (no surprise, my name and phone number are in public records) and launched into a Windows security spiel. I told him to speak up because the connection was poor and he hung up.
