Has me thinking to try it out. LOL
I had family member who nearly caught out with scam. They pretended to work for Windows support team.

A French security researcher says he managed to turn the tables on a cyber-scammer by sending him malware.
Technical support scams try to convince people to buy expensive software to fix imaginary problems.
But Ivan Kwiatkowski played along with the scheme until he was asked to send credit card details. He instead sent an attachment containing ransomware.
He told the BBC he wanted to waste the man's time to make the scheme unprofitable.

Nothing intrested me this year.
My feet were welded in the devenish. Even when you go there you think your wallet is infected with cryptolocker.
But i took the mrs to see boyzone last year and felt financially roasted after it just to stand in a tent covered in mud that destroyed my clothes.
But the mrs went to see "francis black" in clonard monastery a couple of weeks ago. She wasnt amused as there was no alcohol on sale.
She would of been the first ever to go there and get drink in a monastery.
:roflmao:
