By the end of September/early October, I've had a number of cold calls from (allegedly) Microsoft Service Departments.

Of course, these are scam calls as Microsoft will NEVER ring you ever, never mind out of the blue as these scammers do.

NEVER ever allow a cold caller access to your computer...

Please note that due to the Coronavirus pandemic and as I am classed as "At Risk", I am unable to visit to fix computer issues, nor can I accept visitors.

Thank you. Stay safe and well.
