Today [6]

Hawaii's volcano is erupting more recently.. I'm wondering if that was a pre-runner to this earthquake in Japan..I did see on the news there has been a lot of after jolts in Japan today. Praying this will settle down quickly.

Japan is wayyyyy advanced and they'll recover in no time. In fact, earthquakes are no surprise for them. My prayers are with those who lost their homes and lives.

Wellll, they may be way advanced, but the tsunami will have dumped an incredible amount of water, debris, soil, and all of it potentially deadly. Oils, chemicals, etc. It will take years, if ever to clean up the areas hit by the tsunami. A Guy

Along with reports of one of their Nuke plants that's overheated already.. no way so far to cool it down.. that's very scarey. As if they don't already have enough to be concerned about.

Just had my second "there is something badly wrong with your computer Sir!" phone call in 6 months!
I can't believe that these people are getting away with this still.
If you've not heard of this scam and are not that computer savvy you could easily fall for it so watch out and warn your old mum etc.
What happens is I get a call, addressing me by name, saying "our engineers have identified that there are serious errors with your computer"
The guy goes on to explain that the errors are so serious that "your computer could fail completely and you will lose everything"
Very polite guy
He then asked me to open Events Viewer. As we know this will show lots of errors (at least 4 which is what he says).
It seems the only way to save my precious computer and all its contents is to download this special software from a site and install it.
Naturally at this stage I told him to get a proper job and stop trying to scam people but I assume that this would be some serious malware I'd be voluntarily installing.
If anyone knows what happens next please let us know but it is obviously a scam and one which people who had never looked at their Events Viewer could easily fall for.
I asked him why he was being so helpful and concerned about the well being of my pc and he didn't have an answer

z3r... that burns me up.. why we have to use those people to do such
sensitive business for the USA.. we need those jobs back in the USA.. FAST !!!..
where we can keep our personal info. secure. Heads would roll here in the USA if this kind of breach happened.

It happens all over the globe. I know of people with unlisted numbers here in Germany, in USA, in Scandinavian countries who have received these calls.

Some employees from the network operator company sells the phone number dumps to ads agencies to get some good cash. Its very common here as well.

It's against the law here to sell anyones personal business unless they agree...
such as phone numbers or anything else.
