| 1229122 | 2011-09-06 07:18:00 | :clap:clap:clap YAAAAY!!! Had my first ever scam call today!!! Couldn't contain myself enough to keep it longer than 25 minutes, unfortunately! So he's from Wellington - heard it's a very windy place - yes, he says, it is 'very cold . There is snow outside . ' Free computer health checkup he says! So I told him, wow, really? Last week I went to the doctors and had to pay $60 for a checkup! Took the dog to the vet and was charged $200! 'Yes, yes, we are free computer doctors' . 'Will you please click on the start button?' - 'what's a start button?' - 'on left hand side bottom if circle, Windows 7 . If square, Windows XP' . 'My button is trapezium' HAHAHAHA . So after 15 minutes of senseless time wasting for him, he wants me to open up eventviewer . 'How do you spell that? I failed high school and am terrible at spelling' . E for elephant, V for victory, E for elephant again, N for nice, T for tango - wait, 'tangle'? 'No, TANGO' - 'tango-mango'? . . . . . . . . After about 25 minutes I just burst out laughing and yelled into the phone 'YA IDIOT!!!!!' *Click* Today is a good day! |

This time I motioned to <husband> to block his ears and then I let out the longest, most bloodcurdling scream ever into the phone, then hung up. It was hilarious! |

| 1229125 | 2011-09-06 08:19:00 | Still waiting for mine, or, could the fact I have no phone, have some bearing on this? |

| 1229128 | 2011-09-06 08:44:00 | Me too! I got my call from Virtual_pc_doctors at about 6:30 and was told they were in Rongatai, Wgtn. Then got the usual scam story, strung them along for about twenty minutes then told them exactly what I thought of them. I must have been next on the list after you qazwsxok! |

| 1229129 | 2011-09-06 09:55:00 | I am still waiting for one of them Indian gentlemen to phone me . The other day I had a knock on the door . When I opened the door an Indian gentleman was standing there and for a minute I thought, "Christ the buggers are getting tired of being abused by people they call by phone, now they are calling in person" . I was quite relieved when he handed me a courier parcel and said, "Sign here please" . His courier van was parked in my drive . |
