Notice how the url is .co not .com
Also if you mouse over the URL, it goes elsewhere.

I don't get these too much anymore since my Windows Live Mail blocks most spam. Some still slip through like this one.

I never get the bank ones.
I do however get the 1-800 numbers with a guy saying " Yes, this is windows. Your computer has serious infections. Please download LogMeIn and we will help you remove them".

Ok Xray, time to whip out the finger quotes "Bank of America". So you didn't click on the link and fill out the needed info? That is so rude not to reply.

Haha. Sometimes you can save money by being rude. Specially when I'm at an electronics store, and the guy tells me something that's not even correct about the product, while I know differently.

If I even answer the phone, which is a rarity unless I'm expecting a call, I just tell them, "That's funny. I don't own a computer." They usually hang up before I get the chance to do so.

We write down all scam and advertising phone numbers through caller id, then they are added to the block list. We use AT&T for this.
