I periodically get those calls, usually from 'Microsoft Security'. The callers are always African in my case. If I'm not busy or too preoccupied with anything, I'll string them along for as long as possible. They really, *really* hate having their time wasted. One I'll never forget, I'd strung him along for about 25 minutes, and when I told him what I was doing, he stayed on the phone for a further 15 minutes trying to upset me. Being a Usenet veteran, he wasn't even remotely close to being in my league... <G>. He especially got upset when I compared my lifestyle to his, being stuck in some dingy cubicle in some shit hole shanty town trying to scam a few dollars. He was trying *so* hard to upset me, mainly to do with how my mother and sisters were whores... that sort of thing ![]() Another one told to please wait whilst she transferred me to some guy whose job apparently was to dish out the insults ![]() >Please, do not fall for this ruse.

These ones are extra funny, because their African accents are so heavy and yet their names are always extremely generic Anglo-Saxon Australian names. |
