My elderly dad got scammed into paying $99.99 for useless tech support via a phishing scam. He spent a couple hours with three tech support agents talking him into paying for "escalated tech support" issues. These guys used Logmein.com's Rescue product (which is legitimate) to login to my dad's computer to run av scans of his computer. Basically they bait you with an ad, then talk you into thinking you have a problem with your computer, then they get your credit card info and address before they can "fix" your computer.
