When those guys call me, I always advise them I’m going to record the call for quality assurances purposes. One guy had to go through a couple supervisors saying he didn’t have the authority to give me permission. A supervisor finally comes on and ask why, and I tell him because I want to.
I usually play along and act as if I’m entering all of the run commands that they are telling me to do. You can hear them get more and more excited as this goes along- they really have a fish hooked and can taste the success.
Eventually they expect to me to see a popup window and ask me to tell them what it says:
“Let me see...it says...’Be careful. You are being conned by a bunch of sleazebag Hindu crooks. Hang up before they steal from you.’
This stymies them, and they then ask me to wait and pass me off to their supervisor where I do it again. So far my personal best is getting up to level three before some genius figured it out with a flurry of f-words. He was so angry he ordered me to hang up. I said ‘no, you called, you hang up!’ An utterly crazy and illogical exchange by this point but it entertained me.
Now that is funny!
hah! I’m going to use that!
I HATE them calls!
