I had one on the phone for about 40 minutes. I asked him if I should call the police to report it but he assured me that he could fix it. I suggested praying over it, chanting, and lighting incense to drive out the spirits. He wanted to have me reboot the computer so I strung him about 5 minutes for the reboot. I could hear him gasp when I told him it was almost ready, the screen was at the point it said Windows 95 hould not be much longer. |
