Most fun I ever had with a scammer was a call from India (where else) that claimed to be from Micro Soft Tech Services.
They kept telling me my computer was slow because of a virus that they would remove but needed all my passwords.
I strung them along for 2 days by telling them I would continue to trouble shoot the problems from my end, my computer is slow because I’m in the middle of nowhere with crap service.
This went on until I got tired of the game and on the last call (about 20 to 25 in total) I told the guy he didn’t have to worry about it any more.
He told me that my computer was still showing that it was infected with a virus, I told him again it didn’t matter anymore.
He finally asked the question I was waiting for “why does it no longer matter”!
I answered “BECAUSE I TOOK MY COMPUTER OUTSIDE AND SHOT IT”.
LOOOONG silence on the phone, then he says “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU SHOT IT”.
I answered him with “it was obviously a damaged machine so I took it outside on the front lawn and shot it 3 times with my Ruger 45 caliber Long Colt”.
Odd; those guys never called me again!
When I got tired of stringing along one of those phony “Microsoft” scammers I told him my screen all-of-a-sudden was showing me the Virgin Mary. He hung up. Got no more calls.
Cute.
I strung an India accent MSTS guy on for maybe half an hour on a slow day at work.
Half the office hanging on every word while he tries to talk me into giving him control of my computer.
He keeps trying to get me to mash the windows key.
I'm super dense and can't find the windows key.
Exasperated he tells me to look at the bottom row and it's the third key from the left.
OH! You mean the clover leaf key?? I have a Mac. Have a good day.
He was still cussing in Hindi(?) when I hung up.
Lots of laughter from the peanut gallery...
