Mind you, almost put my foot in it the other day. :)

Got this call, guy introduced himself saying he was from Microsoft -- I was just about to "give it to him" when he mentioned what he was calling about -- IT WAS from Microsoft - a Legit call ----- That would have been a bit awkward lol :o

1356963 2013-10-29 22:57:00 People compete for how long they can get these people to keep on talking,. 90 minutes I did at least once. Waste their time.

I've had the call that something is wrong with the computer, at a friends house. EASY way to egg these dopes on is say 'it sounds a bit hard, can you send someone, I don't mind paying, it's just too hard to do it myself, send someone out' then they know you have money see, and are stupid, and would spend it, but don't realise they're never going to get a dime.

There was another one, some 'investment' that involved placing a heap of bets on horse-racing if I recall. I suggested it sounded like a great idea, however, "I'm just not sure, what with the stock market the way it has been lately" -not that I have any idea whatsoever about the stock market, doesn't matter either, because the phrase suits all conditions. Say it anytime. It got this twit to launch into another 20 minutes on top of the hour he'd already wasted.

Not as good as the professional anti-trollers, who get the scammers to dress up and do all kinds of idiotic things, like, they want money, and the anti-trollers say 'the church will send you the money but need varification that the money IS going to you/ your country/ whatever' and so they get the dopes to dress up with signs hanging around their necks saying they love livestock the wrong way or whatever and take pictures of themselves. They post them on websites where they compete.
