I have had a good experience with that. 😀 😛
Yea it can work out good. Just have to be careful .. like with anything there are rip off places.

Indeed there are. A former colleague of mine was stung by a phony help line and had to pay a lot to have the malware that they installed removed.
😀 😛
Yea thats what happens.... they make your computer worse not better. You pay them... then you gotta pay someone else to fix their problems plus the original one.
😀 😛
The tragic thing about that case was that the victim was a woman aged about 80 who was still teaching one course (which had been her favorite to teach). Taking advantage of the elderly is despicable.
😀 😛
Yea that is just pure evil
😀 😛
The only good thing is that she learned from the experience and never fell for a scam like that again. 😀 😛
That is good. 🙂 There a ton of medicare scams going on now. They keep calling my mom on the phone. She is too smart for them though. 🙂
😀 😛
Since I am over 65, I get those Medicare scam calls as well.
😀 😛
Yes, indeed. I have received my new medicare card which has a new unique number on it, not the same as my Social Security number. That is for better security. 😀 😛They happen a lot now. They have TV ads now to warn people so I guess they have become quite common.

Yea they have made improvements which should help a lot. 🙂

It is a never ending struggle between law enforcement and fraudsters.
😀 😛
Very true. Almost impossible to keep up with the fraudsters. 🙁
😀 😛
Yes, because there are so many of them. 🙁
😀 😛
Way way too many of them. 🙁
😀 😛
So it is best to be always vigilant.
😀 😛
Vigilant is a good thing to be. 🙂

Indeed so.
My computer is now five years old. Perhaps it is time to replace it.
😀 😛
Yea mine is even older. Definitely time to replace.
😀 😛
I guess it is inertia that keeps me from doing so.
😀 😛
It is amazing how effective inertia can be. 😀 😛Yea same here. LOL
