The following is true story, because I swear I can't make this shit up.

*ring ring*
Me: Hullo?
Heavily Accented Male Voice: Hello?
Me: Yes, hello?
HAMV: Yes, this is Tim Humanastanislaw.
Me: Yes, what can I do for you?
HAMV: I'm from Microsoft Technical Support.
Me: Really.
HAMV: Yes. Microsoft Technical Support.
Me: Well, what can I do for you? Because I can assure you that you're not returning my call.
HAMV: Um, yes. I'm calling because a computer in your home is sending error messages to our technical support center saying it's INFECTED.
Me: HAHAHA!
HAMV: Every day. We get messages every day. Saying it's INFECTED.
Me: HAHAHA! I'll be sure and tell our in-house IT Support Technician. ::snort::

The moral of this PSA: Don't be a Pakled. Learn a little something about the technology that you use on a regular basis, so that you won't be victimized by reprehensible tools looking to take advantage of your ignorance. Seriously.
