Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, but I thought I would share because I thought it was funny. There is a scam where people call claiming to be MSFT and try to get access to your computer. They called me today for the 3rd time this year. I thought I would share how the call went.
Me: Hello this is Kirk Them: Hello this is <Indian name> with Microsoft Technical Support Me: Yes? Them: We are calling to inform you that your computer has a virus and every time you log onto the internet you information is being sent to a Server. Me: (In a very sarcastic concerned voice) Oh my God! That is terrible! Me: (Now very appreciative..again dripping with sarcasm) That is SO nice that you would do that, to notify me that my computer has a virus. Thank YOU!!! Them: Yes, you are Welcome. I will show you how to get rid of the file, all you have to do is share your screen with me and give me control. Me: No thank you. Them: No I must show you how to get rid of this Virus, your information.. Me: Nah, Virus's are kinda cool! Them: Virus's are cool? Me: Yea! Them: If you don't get rid of this virus we will block your IP address from the internet. Me: Okay! I'll just get a new one. Them: We will block you from the internet. Me: Go Ahead! Are you doing it now? I can still get on the internet! When are you going to do it? Go ahead I dare you! They hung up.... LOL

I average a call every six weeks or so. I used to screw with them too, but it got tiring. Now I just tell them "Listen to this......" and hang up.

I put them on speaker phone and then make them do the whole schtick. They used to ask me if the computer was turned on, but I kept telling them that it was none of my business if the computer was turned on, so they stopped that part.

This thread reminds me of a guy named Tom Mabe. He used to promote his comedy CDs on a local radio station. His first CD was called "Revenge on the Telemarketers". This link is to my favorite bit, one of the first he ever recorded.
