Long story short they had me install an application for remote access and then tried to convince me to pay for "software warranties and support" (via paypal, and then their website because my card didn't work - fake card of course) to 'fix' the viruses on my machine :-)</div>
<div><br></div><div>If anyone is interested I recorded the whole conversation as well as taking screen caps of the sites they had me visit at the time, unfortunately no caller ID at parents place however it sounded like it was coming from a call center of sorts. </div>
