[CCC News] 1800 number support scams.

[Michael Kean]

Hi all :)

Just a quick note that if your computer unexpectedly pops up a message
saying there are problems and to call a 1800 number, please don't. It's
just a scam.

Anyone can easily set up a 1800 number these days and redirect it to
whatever country they like.

I've had two such attacks reported in the last 24 hours.

Cheers, Mike.
