Wrote off a call from a 971 number last year as a total scam. Blocked it right away. It was actually the Oregon DMV about a title problem on my truck. Took me three extra weeks to sort that mess out in person. Used to think every unknown call was a trick, plain and simple. Now I check the voicemail before I hit block. Saved me a headache last month when my bank flagged a weird charge.

Did they check what browser it was? A buddy of mine had the same thing happen at our library in Round Rock. He sat down to look up job listings and the screen popped up with someone's email drafts still open. He closed it fast, but the damage was done because he saw the guy's name and a message about a medical bill. He told the staff, and they said they only force a reboot if someone complains. He ended up finding a librarian who knew a bit about computers, and she changed the settings to wipe everything after 10 minutes of no activity. Took them two weeks to do it, but it finally got fixed.
