The amazing thing is some people have been dumb enough to pay up

Got asked to sort out a foaf's PC where their ISP had blocked their

paid the ransom, only to get even more rubbish.
Thing is, this person is not stupid just a little naive around PCs
and he had thought it was genuine...

But it's full of spelling and grammar mistakes and altogether
ridiculous.

I suspect a lot of people don't see beyond the Met Badge and the quasi-tech language. The grammar was dire but hey it correctly logged my location...to within a couple of hundred miles or so anyway.
