Feel free to spread the word about this, especially amongst older or less tech savvy people you know.

Just reinforce to them that NO-ONE is going to ring you up and volunteer to fix your computer doesn't matter who they say they are from.

God I hate those calls.

I either stay silent on the phone til they hang up or say i don't own a computer.

Thanks for the heads up.
