1360132 2013-11-19 04:24:00 Been waiting for this,just had my 3rd "You have a computer problem" call

Are you the owner of the computer,ah no was my reply I'm just house sitting and do you want the owners number?

His name is John Smith (sergeant) and gave him the number of my local police Station

He knew the game was up saying he did not want to speak to a f--k-n policeman ,told him NZ policemen are trustworthy and would be interested that there was a problem with his computer
So after a few more effen that's and this he hung up :clap

1360134 2013-11-19 18:40:00 I just donated a "Bag of laughs" laughing machine to a friend who gets a lot of these calls (several each week). He lets the machine talk to the caller.

He has Vista, so calls about multiple PC faults are almost always correct ;)

1360135 2013-11-19 19:17:00 I thought a different angle was required so I told the man from Microsoft that I was delighted that my Virus was infecting so many computers and my wish was to infect ever one. :devil

Could he please keep me up to date with progress?

There was a deafening silence so I hung up.

Still waiting for a progress report. :D

1360139 2013-11-19 20:18:00 I just laughed, said "no you're not", and hung up last time. that's about as much effort as I can muster to respond to these guys now.
I Get a call from a private or unknown number, I say hello and there's a long pause and a click or something - my finger starts hovering on the hang up button right about then. Last time it was from Sky, they ring me almost as often as "microsoft" does.

Sorry Whenu but there has been a rush on them and I don’t have any spares. :D

Gold star for you Sir! I've *never* had a call from these fellows, but if I do in future will follow this fine performance!
