I also got the “Microsoft Tech Support calling about a serious computer security problem” call.
I said “Oh, that’s good. My computer is a Mac. Can you help me with that too?”
-click-
I only pick up when I want to amuse myself by cranking someone.
I got one about Microsoft Security.
I said, Oh, Good, I was hacked and lost all my money.
You can get it back for me, right?
. . . . . buzz
I’ve gotten the same call with the same reply and response. Our personal favorite were the calls we got from Jamaica telling us we’ve won the lottery. They’d always ask for my wife by name and were be quite persistent and creative. When we told him we were calling the FBI, he promptly put an “FBI agent” on the line to assure us that the call was on the up and up. They tried at least a dozen times before I convinced them that they’d not see one dime of money from us.
Ask him to “Put on the Chai wallah boy. You Bakrichod” (using an Indian accent)
The Chai Wallah is the server/boy who brings around tea in the call center. (low social status). Bakrichod is one who has carnal knowledge of goats.
That usually gets them to hang up or start cursing in Hindi then hang up.
I tell them that their security system must be really compromised because I don’t even have a computer.
