SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
A word of warning, the scam Windows/Microsoft calls are happening again, several in the last few days. If anyone calls saying you have a virus on your PC, just put the phone down, or as I do, tell them I use Linux. They are trying to get remote access to your PC and scam your credit cards.....
It can be funny though if you challenge them, they get pretty annoyed and abusive.

Annoyed and abusive ??
Sounds like a challenge to me.
You've got to be pretty thick to believe someone would contact you via phone to tell you theres a prob with your pc.

I got one of these calls about 12 months ago,i just told em i'm a A+ Cert PC engineer and they soon fooked off
Re: SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
I love to wind them up, pretend you're typing in the stuff they ask you, they get well stressed when they can't take control of your pc!
I love the bit when they go (in my best Apu accent) "Hello, my name is Simon"....

Got a good idea of a post on Digital Spy, buy yourself a dog whistle, they won't call back in a hurry.

Re: SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
I'm really disappointed I haven't had one of these calls, I've got plenty of time to have a chat with them.

Re: SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
Best tip is to say "hang on, I'll just turn my pc on" then put the phone down and leave it where it is checking back periodically to see if the stupid Apu's are still there.
That, or just keep saying " sorry, I can't speak bollocks. Could you talk slowly or spell every work your'e trying to say. Thank you very much, please come again"

Re: SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
I got hard with all these tw*t, and used to say hang on a min, put on a motorhead cd and leave the phone in front of the speaker...

I remember watching the very programme the inventor of the 'True Call' machine was selling his product to the dragons. Great idea, a little pricey for me so I'll just stick to my usual reply to scam calls, which I bet you know already.

Re: SCAM Microsoft Calls from India.
I simply interrupt them regularly by asked if they've "heard the good news about our Lord Jebus" and they soon fook off...
