1164420 2010-12-23 07:25:00 Just had a very brief call. They rang and gave a 20 second spiel about my computer, how I was sending out viruses and malware onto the internet and it was infecting my hard drives. She asked if I was near my PC, I told her I was sitting down at my PC and as I did I asked where they were from. She said she was from the windows support line and then *immediately* hung up. Gutted!

I had my phone ready on me and was about to start recording it too. What a shame! :(

1164426 2010-12-23 17:28:00 Yeah it's our first telemarketing call as well. They must be going through the white pages.

Note to self, don't ask where they're from, keep doing everything else first before tipping them off...

Confucious say: before you can reel in fish, first you must hook him .

Only when hook is in mouth may you know which end is fisherman, and which end is shark . If mouth hurt, shark got you .

Baiting cold callers is an art form . . . . . . . . . . . .
