I just got a phonecall from someone who said they were from the software maintenance dept of Windows computer & would walk me through my computer to fix my problems..( I have had an error or something that tells me it needs to debug so I almost allowed them to. ) Luckily I rang my computer guru & he said no way that they get in & access your computer & hijack all the info. Other people have done it & hes had to fix their computers..+ Windows don't contact you. So if they ring don't let them do anything !

lol, i got one of these calls about a month back.

i pretended to be really concerned and let them rattle on for a bit.

then i said, "you know what's really strange, i'm using a mac"...

they went silent and then hung up.

hehe.

next time i reckon i'll tell them they've called asio.

Or tell them you use a Apple 2e. Ask them what Windows is and does it have Appleworks. You have been running your business with Appleworks for the last 25 years and have not had an issue.

Yep I had one of the same scam callers tonight... the Mac Laptop line works a treat, I tried to keep him on the phone to admit it was a scam but the best I could get was "Yes he WAS lying"

Yep,had a similar call,but it was a chick.New it was bullpit,

so asked her what she was wearing....lol

She paused,,,,,,but didnt answer my question,

she kept rattleing on trying to scam me,

So I told her what I was wearing and where my hands were and asked her,

"Does that make you horney baby,,yeahhhhh" In a Austin Powers voice.

She hung up...lol

I love giving crap to the phone salesmen and scammers.

Its my new hobby.

Try it, instead of hanging up feeling annoyed and frustrated

you hang up laughing and happy.
