They really don't give up, do they? Here's a variation on a theme. Had a call 20 minutes ago from a bloke with a heavy Indian accent. Claimed to be calling on behalf of Microsoft and said that my computer had been logged sending out malicious emails, and if I didn't allow him access to my PC to fix the problem (for a fee) my computer would be shut down. Having been the target of a similar attempted scam by Log4Rescue a year ago I recognised the patter, told him he was talking nonsense and hung up, but am still angry that he might con someone vulnerable.

Does this count as a malicious email????
