| 1200159 | 2011-05-07 19:47:00 | Listening to Leo LePorte ( . kfiam640 . com/mediaplayer/?station=KFI-AM&action=listenlive&channel_title=" target="_blank">www . kfiam640 . com) and he has a guy from Ireland telling that they are getting multiple calls a week from scammers telling that the user's computers have security problems coming from their units . Wasn't this just going on in Upsidedown Land too recently? I haven't had any of these calls yet - wondering if the US is next . YouTube Link here ( . youtube . com/watch?v=8nfN_pQNqrg" target="_blank">www . youtube . com) |

| 1200161 | 2011-05-09 03:00:00 | It may be zone-licensed for the US only or YouTube doesn't like Upsidedown Land. it's still operating here. |

| 1200163 | 2011-05-15 16:08:00 | but this scam is really global, it's not just nz or ireland, people are getting calls in brisbane Australia and even small places like Guelph in Canada here is another video (www.youtube.com) and more reports from people (callercenter.com) |

They are most persistent, and I like to string them along for a bit of funhttp://pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz/images/icons/icon10 . gif . The last one I mucked him about then told him I had Linux . Phone went quite then - he hung up . |

| 1200166 | 2011-05-16 00:21:00 | We've had three a week in the last month. I'd thought of blowing a loud whistle down the 'phone but I recollect reading somewhere that loud noises are electronically attenuated. Is this true? |
