They quickly unplugged the computer cutting power to the PC and the modem. Even though this was done; we have to clean the computer in case of viruses. It took ages to re-format the hard-drive and re-install the programs.<br /><br />I would advise you do not keep personal financial data on your computer linked to the internet. If possible, keep such data on a separate computer NOT linked on the internet.<br /><br />Good trick your son did to the telemarketers. Sometimes I answer them in a foreign accent, "Allo eeet eez mee, I understand not zee language, n'est ce pas? Oui monsieur!" They soon hang up.<br /><br />God bless, Mevely.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-52961184426641970692020-10-08T15:36:20.429-07:002020-10-08T15:36:20.429-07:00I do what Mevely does, don't answer if I don&#...I do what Mevely does, don't answer if I don't know the caller.

As a young girl, my #2 grand had a pretty severe speech defect that made understanding her difficult, if not sometimes impossible. When a telemarketer would call, my son used to put Chloe on the phone and tell her it was Santa Claus. :)Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-14263921428356799972020-10-08T12:49:13.360-07:002020-10-08T12:49:13.360-07:00I must admit Mevely, when I'm in a good mood, ...I must admit Mevely, when I'm in a good mood, and have nothing better to do, I do engage in conversation with telephone callers. Once I had someone from a computer firm telling me my computer had a problem and he could fix it if I allowed him access to my system through the internet. Now this is dangerous. Never allow someone access to your computer online. They can copy/paste all your hard-drive with all your information.<br /><br />I told him I'd loaned my computer to my neighbour. Could he wait on the phone till I got it. I kept him waiting for a few minutes then told him my neighbour was out.<br /><br />As for shows' finales. They do this on some soap type programs. Obviously they cannot change the endings of films like Titanic. I wrote in just to annoy them.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-10378337104795189542020-10-08T11:59:25.895-07:002020-10-08T11:59:25.895-07:00Thanks to Caller ID, if I don't recognize the ...Thanks to Caller ID, if I don't recognize the name/number I simply won't answer.
