I saw something similar a couple of months ago and said to myself, wow there are a lot of unsuspecting people who would fall for that. Only a few days later I got a call along these similar lines, I said that I would like his name and email -nothing - then I said I thought this was a scam -- caller hung up. I mentioned it to my daughter who said she had a random call only a day r two before. She said the caller said he was from M$oft and had discovered an issue with her machine.... . Her response was -- That's interesting, I don't have a computer(she does really)... caller hung up. I think someone on this group said his father got caught by the scam-- but I haven't taken the CoQ10 lately and could just be getting even more forgetful. Have a good day. jack On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 8:59 AM, Tina Norris Fields < tinanfields at torchlake.com> wrote: > Yeah - I'm teaching a beginners' class right now.
