Strange phone call.

I just this minute received a strange phone call from some guy with an Asian accent saying if I had a computer using microsoft windows I had a serious attack on the system that would cause it to crash very soon. He then wanted me to allow him control of my computer so he could solve the problem.
I'mpretty sure this was an attempted scam so I told him to get lost and I ended the call. Has anyone else been approached this way.
No jokes about Neon, kash, Afridi etc. please.

Not true Neon it's my adds in telephone kiosks that's the probable source. The phrase 'scantily clad' gets them every time.

seriously guys, who do the scammers get your number? Does your phone company sell your info for a quick buck?

My name and number are in the telephone book, so I guess they can get my number on line.

Hope's been putting his number on dodgy websites and that's why he got a call
