Scammers tell guy hard drive has virus, bill for $6 million

In the past, I have been very critical of the idiots at Best Buy’s Geek Squad and their outrageous prices but I think its safe to say I have finally found somebody worse than them.  The picture below posted on failblog has the whole story but apparently an extremely gullible computer owner was convinced that somebody was trying to infiltrate his hard drive and paid $6 million to protect himself.  Its a pretty funny story so I recommend checking out the picture below.  I think its safe to say this guy shouldn’t be allowed to use a computer anymore.
