Just log on and enter "this" so we can clean up (take control of) your computer so we can fix the problem. Wonder how many fall for that one?

A bunch of people fall for it. My brother did. They created quite a mess on his computer. Luckily, using software I setup for him, he had made an image of his hard drive a week or two before that phone scammer infected his computer with a virus. They basically hold you ransom. Pay them to remove the virus or live with a very slow computer that crashes a lot. I restored his hard drive from the image and he only lost 2 weeks of e-mails, but nothing really important.
