Ugh, my mom has me texting her in all caps. She posted an FB update about her computer being locked and having to call the 800# and pay $300 to get it "fixed." Jezuz Christ on roller skates.
Mom, that's a scam. Call your credit card/bank and cancel the transaction now.
Why? It's working now.
Mom, they're ****ing scammers. You don't pay $300 to have someone remotely "fix" your laptop.
Will they sue me?
Of ****ing course not! They're ****ing scammers!
It took one or two more "really? are you sure?" exchanges for me to get in to the caps lock.
