| 1267376 | 2012-03-29 06:18:00 | Had one of those calls saying I had a virus on my computer etc etc. Told the guy he was talking a load of bullshit. With that he started arguing with me with the pitch of his voice getting higher and higher and when I could get a word in edge wise I told him the next thing he will be asking me for my credit card number. He kept on arguing with his voice still getting higher and with that I hung up. :) |

Given that there's probably hundreds of them all together doing it, their 'employers' might have gained more credibility with their staff than they deserve. |

| 1267380 | 2012-03-29 21:59:00 | When you pick up the phone there will be a few seconds pause then click, i just hang up when that happens. They are normally just starting to say "hel...." gone | Gobe1 (6290) | ||
| 1267381 | 2012-03-29 22:07:00 | I saw an article the other day, it was saying they estimate up to a third of kiwis would have received a call of this nature. That's rather a lot...and it's amazing how many fall for it. If people would just stop and think for 10 seconds, they would realize that it's a blatant scam. |
