Ailsa Hamblin, 93, has been scammed by criminals pretending to be Microsoft. They told her she had a virus infection on her computer. They said that bad weather could help computer viruses to spread. The scam is nothing new and weve warned users about them before. The criminals used a tall story that the criminals used to fleece Mrs HamBlin, of Mornington Peninsula near Melbourne, of Melbourne, Australia. They also said that recent heavy rain and storms had caused more computer viruses.”]
