| 1151944 | 2010-11-11 05:04:00 | Hi Team I just had my third 'I'm here to help you' computer virus call and boy was she was persistent!! She didn't give up when I said the computer wasn't on, wouldn't tell me how she knew I 'had a virus' just blathered on about internet protocols. She did know my company name, but that is not rocket science, it is attached to the phone number. Managed to string it out for nearly 5 minutes with all sorts of silly questions but she finally hung up on me when I said I don't do business with anonymous callers and asked for her company name amd email address. It wasn't as much fun as it could have been though because she had a very strong Indian type of accent and spoke too fast. I asked her to slow down but I don't think she knew the meaning of the word, either that or she gets paid on piece rates! Cheers Billy 8-{) |
