We got "upgraded" [View all]

Instead of the calls from Mumbai about "windows" - when I would occasionally ask the caller to show me where I could find Windows on my Mac - we are now getting calls alerting us about suspicious activities in our iCloud account.

We don't use Windows, we don't use iCloud and we don't have grandkids for the callers who say: "grandpa!" or "grandma.."

These calls about the iCloud, though, come two or three in rapid succession.

Yes, I do hang up, not waiting for the explanation, or whatever.
