The phone rang. It was Arnold so I knew better than to answer it but I did anyway. Big mistake. He had a cute Indian accent. It seems my computer is sending out floods of viruses and malware. He needs access to my computer so he can fix the problem. Wow, what a guy! On second thought, maybe he wants to steal my personal and financial information and clean out my accounts. Hmm, would Arnie do that?

They must think we are stupid. Or enough people believe them and give them access to their computer.

I don't pick up from numbers I am not familiar with especially if they're trying to help me clear my computer!!

There is always someone running a scam of some sort.

I haven't gotten there yet. Just to the emails from who knows what country. Be careful! I think, cyber crime is progressing!

@arthurchappell There are always people that are so unsure of things mysterious on the internet that they believe these people. Your computer is spewing out spam/viruses. Oh no, but Arnold just called and he will save me. I just need to give him $300.

I'm jealous. Rachel did not call me. Or maybe she did, I usually let it all go to message. Now, we both have a personal relationship with Arnold. Does that make us sisters?
