I've had this bunch call a few times recently so decided to run through their offering. He starts by saying their m$ certified experts have found I've been loading infections to the internet. I asked for my IP address repeatedly and he couldn't give it to me. Bizarrely he then asked if I liked raw meat (took a few goes before I understood what he was asking) and I replied I liked steak tartare, did he like steak tartare? Supervisor then took over so I asked him what my IP address was that was loading infections and he called me a timewaster. Told him to stop being a scammer and he hung up. I could have lasted at least another 10 minutes. Timeshare sales have much more staying power.

I always ask what Microsoft Windows is. Then I ask what an operating system is. Then I ask what a computer is.Comment

I ruined it by asking if he enjoyed raw cow.Comment

Wife got the call the other day, what annoys me the most is who the hell is selling my number that's on the TPS list and ex-directory.
Wife new the scam as I had to sweep some old woman's laptop that had fallen foul of them. Thankfully she managed to stop the payment before it went through, they then had the cheek to phone her back looking for the money
Funnily, nothing dodgy added, just some freeware that will point out all these dodgy registry entries to look like they're actually doing something.Comment
