Funny to get the Microsoft virus call when you have an iMac.

For all these calls i just tell them that the computer is with the POLICE internet fraud department and the calls seem to go away.

I got a beauty today on my Italian phone, it seems I have won £1,265,065.00  Funny thing is that the sms is in Italian but the sending number is a UK number. How the hell did they get,my number or even, perhaps, know that I am in the UK today.

I enjoy the Microsoft calls. I follow their instructions to the letter. They get very confused when I cannot find the buttons they want me to press - on my Mac.

I said I would open a window. After five minutes I said I was cold. He rang off.

I have a high voltage battery by the phone and simply attach a positive crocodile clip to the phone wire, flick a switch on my electro device purchased off eBay and deliver a very painful shock to the t**t on the other end. In my dreams

For the market survey calls, about one a day, I have been using the "Im sorry, Mr Jenks has passed on" response for some time. It is usually effective and gets a polite "sorry to have taken your time" reply.
But for the next "Windows" call I will try telling them I no longer have a computer since "Wiltshire Police" took it away. I think that might be interesting.
Mostly I don't really object to these people, imagine what it is like to be paid to work in an Indian call centre having to make these calls. So I am never rude or offensive.
