I've been getting loads of landline phonecalls ('International - Out of area' comes up on my phone screen) over the last few months from the 'Technical Department of Computers'. It's a scam. I've told them where to go several times, in fact once, after swearing at this indian woman who had called me, she actually rang back just to call me an a.hole and then put the phone down, lol.
Today, this indian man rang from the same so called 'Technical Department of Computers'. They usually start with a "hello sir, my name is... how are you today?" so you immediately know it's some kind of salespitch or scam. He gave me the usual stuff about how I've downloaded malware. I decided to play along and wind him up. When I asked him to tell me what malware I have he couldn't answer, just skirted around it. I said you should know what malware I have. Then he wanted me to give him my pc id number so he could compare it to his. I said you tell me what number you've got first. He didn't tell me. Anyway, after a while he started being rude to me saying "why do you keep asking me the same questions?" I said "because you're a really stupid idiot who never answers my questions". He reads from a script and hardly lets you get a word in. Then I told him to f off very loud, slowly and clearly twice, to which he disconnected,
. Don't fall for it guys. I googled it, and found this link.
