The guy then proceeded to tell me that I had to follow his instructions to remove it (IE giving him remote acess), It was then that i decided i may as well play him and pretend im dumb, so I just pretended to follow his instructions for 5 minutes while he spurted out utter **** and pretended i was stumbling over hurdles trying to find what to do and the gentlemen very kindly and patiently guided me through the procedures.

I then said to the guy "sorry I think im actually running Linux not Windows,will this still work?" and he then went on to say "dont worry about it Im calling from Linux, and yes it will still remove the Trojan". I found it really hard to stifle a laugh though as I was just thinking Linux...Customer service....naaah! considering he was originally calling from microsoft as well.

After he got to the point where if i was actually following him it would have allowed him remote access i decided to politely inform that i knew exactly what he was trying to do and that I wasnt going to let him access my PC. Even after that though he asks "have you clicked Ok yet?" haha. :o

Just asked him after that if he thought what he was doing was morally right and he just hung up. :cool:

Filled in a good 5 minutes of my time though and gave me a good laugh.

Glad i picked up the phone though as my mother possibly wouldve beleived him and followed his instructions.

Anyway guys any of you lot experianced this?
 
cant wait to get a land line fitted, gunna be a right **** to them, give them a piece of my mind.
 
I had 3 in one day, I had some fun with them:D

But they all ended quickly after they realise i was taking the mick out of them.

My mum gets these all the time, fortunatly shes fairly switched on and realised the first time it wasn't genuine... more amusingly tho she knows little about computers shes taken to researching techy sounding, but totally meaningless, phrases to spout back at them and wind them up.

Click to expand...

Better yet, let them dial into an old machine with nothing but a fresh install of Windows. When they log in BAM. Hit them with 31 tabs of the worst kind of pr0n sites in Firefox.

Thanks for playing! :cool:
 
I had a customer ring me about his pc that was full of viruses, he dropped it off and i ran some scans on it and found nothing. I told him there was nothing wrong with it and he said "well that's strange as we keep getting calls from microsoft telling us we have viruses and that its running slow"

HAHAHAHHAHAH
 
If I ever get one, my plan is to act entirely polite and surprised at the news of this virus.

I'll follow them along until the point where they think I'm about to run their remote connection software, then whack up speakers and open a porno vid. At that point I'll feign rage, all "OMG THIS IS DISGUSTING! HOW DARE YOU!?!" until they're forced to hang up.
