*** AUTOCALL™ ATTENTION REQUIRED!. ***

Since 3 days a got theses calls on my skype... kind of annoying. But tonight, it calls on my home phone, my cell phone and my skype together a the same time...saying that my computer was at risk and giving my IP address. I block it and report as abuse but is there anything else I could do?

I can't help with this, but I just got the same autocall message on my cell phone so I'll be watching to see how widespread this is.

Me too.. It started calling me last week. Then I went to the website that is telling me to go. I went there and it says i have to buy that certain anti virus app.. It called me twice today the first one this morning so I had to block it and then tonight it called me again.. So much for blocking.. Hmf it wasnt effective.
