Miscellaneous

I live in edinburgh scotland yesterday the 28th i recieved a call from an indian sounding man saying he was from miscrosoft and thay they had found many problems with my computer and that it was about to crash, i questioned him for a while but he was so convincing, even saying he was in washington, he had full control over my computer and then told me there were 84 problems and that i needed a license for the 10 yrs and security for any virus, i foolishly agreed to pay the £70 which he then converted to $71.30 canadian dollars i asked why and i was given that it had to be in canadain dollars, by this time the cash had gone fdrom my account to pay for this scam, i immediately called my bank to cancel my card and the money had been taken. Card cancelled till new one issued
i cannot belive i fell for this scam, never before have i done this, my email address is (personal information removed) this is all the info i will give out now, i plan to call microsoft today when they open to tell them. So it doesnt happen to anyone else.
