Oh … The Beeb …


Oh … The Beeb …

It seems the BBC has just put up a little news article on the Technology part of their site.

One that caught my attention, certainly …

Do you remember, a few months ago, I told you about a friend of mine called Kelly, who’d had a rather worrying call from a company in Bengal: basically, the company were trying to con Kelly into giving them remote access to her machine.

Kelly — bright woman that she is — refused, quite sensibly, to be convinced or conned.

I did my usual thing of writing about this little incident: and emailing the Gazette, when they had a similar report.

Tonight, though, when I got home from work, I did my usual thing.

Of having dinner.

And browsing through the BBC’s teletext service while dinner was cooking.

And found an article — there and on the website — about the increasing number of scammers trying to pull off the same stunt …

Now, ok, granted, others have covered this sort of thing.

And a lot better than I have.

But isn’t it nice to think you’ve scooped the BBC … ?
