Default SCAM - Your computer has a virus!

Evening all, just a heads up for everyone on the forums..

Today I have received 4 calls on my mobile phone from scammers telling me that my computer is infected and could crash at any minute.

It sounded fishy to me as this isnt normally how tech support works and I dont have any subscriptions to monitoring services and my computer is very rarey turned on because I mainly use the iPad or work computer for browsing.

Anyway after having a few choice words with them I looked it up and found this website which explains the scam in detail.
