bruno22rf Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Somedays, when I'm bored, I live for such calls. I try and keep them talking as long as possible (just over 15 minutes is my record) by making up email addresses and fictitious names for myself - putting in won, one or 1 can keep them clicking away for ages trying to work out your details.

Billy. Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Somedays, when I'm bored, I live for such calls. I try and keep them talking as long as possible (just over 15 minutes is my record) by making up email addresses and fictitious names for myself - putting in won, one or 1 can keep them clicking away for ages trying to work out your details. I've had a few of these calls. I know exactly what they're doing and exactly what they're trying to do. So I pretend to be someone who is their perfect victim, except I'm absolutely useless. I play a similar game to yours. "Sir please go to www." "Ok UU UU UU." "No, W like the letter" "Oh i'm really sorry, WWW.WWW." "No, just one W" "Ok, W." "Sir, three W's is what you need to type" "WWW.threedoubleus" *click* If I'm driving somewhere it helps kill the time and hopefully stops someone else from getting scammed by that person. If ANYONE you don't know calls you about your computer running slowly or offering an over the phone fix, ignore it. Edited May 25, 2016 by Billy.

WinchesterDave Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Not about computers but I had a similar call a week ago from some guy saying to me that I've had a car crash.... "Mate I've only been driving for two years, I've not had a crash at all" "Oh, has anyone else in the house hold had a crash then?" Lol... "No...?" Anyway had a bit of a rant about him having my details And how annoyed I was that someone somewhere has uploaded them to some database and stated I've had a crash... I told him it was a load of b******* and then Ended up telling him to get a better job! Anyway he agreed with me haha! He said he hates getting these phone calls himself and told me he will take my details off the system lol I normally just hang up but it actually annoyed me Edited May 25, 2016 by WinchesterDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I get calls like that practically every day, I just say I'm the decorator painting the house and there is nobody else here. If it comes through on my mobile I say its a work phone and I don't pay the bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
