    I was very impressed with the man who called me , after 20 minutes he hadnt lost his temper with me . To be fair to them they are only doing a job , and at the end of the day you have to earn money where you can

    Since when was scamming hard working and/or vulnerable individuals just "a job"?
    They are low life and deserve everything unpleasant we can send their way.

    I've had a few - calls that is, and am working my way back in time through various (now) obscure OSes - the first was Solaris, then VME/K, then Vulcan (was that Harris or Prime?)... not sure what I'll do after I get back to CP/M and DEC Monitor!

    And +1 to victor2!

    In October 2010 I had 1 at 43 mins and 1 at 38 ,but I guess i may have the record for the most swear words and insults a person can utter in 10 seconds when I got one at a most inconvenient moment and gave vent because I had just knocked my stella over reaching for the phone :D
    43 mins, I'm seriously impressed, I thought I was good at 8-9 mins, I'll try harder.
    My ploy was saying my windows were OK and getting him to hang on as I walked round the house ensuring I could open and close them all.

    Wow - seriously ????

    They are not doing "a job" - they tell people lies and deceive them into giving bank details to pay for "Software" or "Services" to clean up the non-existent problem
