Gotcha you git!!

Phone went off about 10 minutes ago. We have caller display, it showed "International" so I knew it was going to be somebody either carrying out a survey or flogging something.
Turned out to be a foreign sounding gentleman from Microsoft who informed me that he was going to help me sort out a problem with Windows.
"Fantastic" I said, "my computer has been making a funny noise recently, maybe that's what it is. Could you hold on a minute"
"Certainly" came the reply.
30 seconds later, I said "could you hold the phone very close to your ear and listen to this noise? I hope you can help me sort it out".
"Absolutely" he said. So he did.
"Are you ready?" I said.
"Yes" he replied.

I knew that referees whistle was going to come in handy. It deafened me, so God knows what it did to him.

So that's what those international calls are!

I'm going to answer one next time!

Oi! The blood's still pouring out of my, err... his ears!

Classic!

Cruddy scamming twunts.

I had one talk me through all kinds of different windows and menus (which I wasn't looking at - computer wasn't even switched on), trying to find a log of infected files, as I sat watching the fitba. After 20 minutes of him battling with my apparent inability to navigate simple menus and web pages, I told him what I thought of him and hung up.

Dicks.

I had one lady trying to get me, to allow her access to my PC so she could fix a virus she told me I had. She was telling me a URL I had to type in, can't remember what, but was something like www.givemeaccess.com, so I told her I had typed what she requested but was getting nothing. She then asked me to repeat to her what I had typed so I told her :-

wwwdotgivemeaccessdotcom

I repeated it all phonetically.

This went on for around 30mins, until I got bored and told her I knew she was trying to scam me and that I had her IP address and was going to report her, at which poing she hung up.

I get the same call from time to time. I have one thing to say that ends the call immediately every time without fail. I just say, before you go any further, "I don't have a computor"

Tell them that you're running Linux, it confuses the bejesus out of them.

Sensible. But not much fun

That wasn't nice, all he wanted to do was fix your computer. I wonder if it was my friend in Nigeria who has millions of state dollars and wants to put them in my bank account.

Don't know who you mean but I'm far too excited because Beyonce just replied to my "hi" email (that I never sent!)

 

[drawboy]

Charming. Microsoft go out of their way to try and help you fix your pc problem and all you do is treat the guy with contempt. Why do they bother? Bill Gates will be livid.

the blokes at one of our exchanges done this with a PPI call, when it says press 1 to speak to someone they did so then as soon as the bloke spoke they let off an air horn

sort of felt sorry for the bloke as only doing his job but we get so many of these calls every day its a joke.

Nice one Smiffy :thup:

Had the same call from a very nice Indian lady when I was haing a Saturday lie in. I explained that I was on the roof and would have to get down to speak to her - that took ages! She asked me if the computer was switch on ..... She hung up when I said I didn't have a computer!

I had one offering me " a amazing deal on a new mobile contract" told them i wasn't interested but they continued to waffle on and then said " how about you're wife would she be intrested" i said she may be but could they guarantee she would get a good signal, to which they replied " yes we have the best network coverage in the uk".

That's amazing i said, all the other networks say you can't get a phone signal 6ft under in wooden box.

All i got was a confused mutter from her then a 5 second silence then it must have clicked as she hung straight up.

It was a bit of a tasteless prank to pull but i had been harrassed all week by the same people and even when i politley told them not to contact me they still did, safe to say i've never had another call off them!
