| 1213512 | 2011-06-30 05:05:00 | Tell them you have two other computers ( MAC's) that need their "help" and can they do those all at at he same time . :p |

| 1213514 | 2011-06-30 05:32:00 | You've already played with them. Just tell them it's Linux and ask them not to be kept on the scam list.I did that... it didn't work; they shifted from 'scamming me' mode to 'trying to convince me it's not a scam' mode. I hung up on them at 2:34. what i would give to have this sort of time...I was working at the same time through most of that; they didn't require much input from me - simply trying to figure out KDE was confusing enough for them :devil. |

| 1213515 | 2011-06-30 05:34:00 | That's epic well done for tying them up for so long, it kept them from preying on someone else for a while | gary67 (56) | ||

| 1213517 | 2011-06-30 06:07:00 | Had my first this morning a very persistent sounding Indian female. Said she was from Hamilton NZ but didnt know what province Hamilton was in or the name of the river which flows thru it. Kept asking me to turn on computer and she would show me a virus. |

| 1213518 | 2011-06-30 06:13:00 | Ehh, I got one a few weeks ago, pretty sure it was voice automated though, cause once I stopped trolling him, he kept talking as if I was responding :/ Legendary for keeping them going that long! :D |

| 1213519 | 2011-06-30 06:25:00 | They are also using the slightly different approach -- had a couple of people call me asking why HP (Hewlett-Packard) were calling them - Indian help desk ?? One even said the guy was trying to convince her, their HP injet printer had a nasty virus -- OK ;) |
