It's a *telephone* scam, Doug. They call you, and tell you that there are problems with your Windows computer, and that they can repair them. I don't know what happens when you agree; maybe they have you log into their site and install malware, maybe they just charge you for the login. I just don't know. You see, when the caller completed his opening sentence, I said something very rude which may damage international relations--and hung up. I use a Mac, and I won't touch Windows with a vaccinated crowbar. (Personal choice.)
