 Net Scams
					
				
				
						
						
				
					
						
							Dunno how many of you are aware of this, but a word of warning. I got a popup that said something about being connected to the net at a 'special rate of £1.50 a minute'...it said select yes/no. I would like to point out that if you get this popup, or a popup like it dont click ANYTHING. Alt-F4 does NOT work. Whatever you click connects you to this rate (broadband users, your ok, dialup beware) The only thing to do is unplug the modem, restart the PC and connect again. Turn the volume up on your modem so you can hear if it reconnects at all when your online, cos it means your being charged more. Its a malicious Scam, beware. This is true, was on the news the other day. I think I've already had it before, so Im dreading the time the phonebill comes through.
Any ideas for protection? I have almost no computor knowledge and Im poor, so I am really hoping this scam thing aint worked.
