(32,702 posts)I tried to sound concerned. Then after I was sitting at my computer and listening to instructions on what keys to push, I said I don't have that key, I have an Apple computer. He hung up on me. Imagine that.

(7,686 posts)want to hurt their feelings and tell them I had a mac. I chit-chatted bs and extended the friendly conversation. When I couldn't find the key, I said, "But you TOLD me I had MS software!"

(34,136 posts)I've never had an iCloud account and haven't owned an Apple product since 1987, so I didn't return their call.

(26,330 posts)I kept rebooting the computer. I would put the phone down and do a chore come back.
Should I reboot again? No no dont reboot! Oops I already rebooted. Please wait.
I figured he was on to me when he said he would have to call me back. He called me back and I told him the I just threw the computer in the garbage. He told me my phone lines were infected so that wouldnt help.

(7,686 posts)like to take these calls and dissect the caller, like pulling the legs -- and then the wings -- off of a bug. One was very high up in MS security dept -- you can imagine, and now laugh !
leftieNanner
(15,135 posts)knew that these calls were bogus, so she would tell the scam caller that she would go get her mom - and then she would just put the phone down and leave it off the hook for ten minutes or so.
It didn't get rid of them, but it sure slowed them down.
I always liked that girl!

"Oh good. I could tell you were a little piece of shit the second I laid eyes on you, and maybe getting the shit kicked out of you by a Mexican gang lord will get you to finally pull your head out of your fucking ass. Don't call here again."

(3,601 posts)They said I had won the big prize, and a Mercedes Benz which they had delivered the day before. I hadn't even entered the sweepstakes and needless to say there was no car. I hung up. (Nope No Papa Slurpy's Pizza for Dogs) PCH says if you won 5 thousand or less, they just mail you the check. If it's more, they come to your door. They NEVER call.
