Another new scam...

at least new to me. I listened to a recorded message on my phone this morning.  A charming young sounding voice informed me that "The license key to your computer has expired. Call 1-800-441-7400 to renew."  Needless to say I did not call to 'renew' this imaginary license, and, happily, my computer is still working just fine. 
If thinking about all the scams that are out there these days is giving you a headache here are two old-time headache cures published in my "Old Farmer's Almanac" calendar today:
1. Tie a salt herring around your throat.
or 2. Apply collard greens to your head.
Hmmm... perhaps scams are not a new problem after all. Watch out for those collard greens and herring sellers.
