Situations like this I love my air horn.

Joke's on you. An airhorn would be louder for you than the person down the phone.

You work in IT, yet you needed to be at the PC to find out this info?

Did you not read the part where I said the phone is beside the PC? There was also a chair beside the PC. I wanted to sit down. How would you have gotten the info?

Hah! You fell for the classic double bait and switch scam. They know you know that the Eventvwr bit is a scam but they know you'll play along and want to sit down and that's all they really needed you to do. They now control the chair. I'd tell your Mam to not sit in that chair for a while until it gets virus-checked. Jaysus, imagine if they installed a trojan in your Mam? Feck's sake!

I'll sort it out for you though. PM me your bank account details for payment. Thanking you.

They're a company calling themselves online pc doctor. They offer to 'fix' problems you don't have by getting you to allow them remote access. They charge €90 for the privilege. If you're really lucky they will offer you their extended deal and you can sleep peacefully for another €200.

hahaha - if you are gonna scam you might as well scam big!

Things like this really shouldn't work as if people applied the least amount of common sense

I've worked in a few tech support centres, so I stopped reading there. A lot of the public are completely stupid when it comes to PC's, and I've come across a few people who deleted their Windows directory, as they wanted to save space "and never used Windows at all"... :rolleyes:
