"Windows PC" - 4th call today

prowla

I try and play with them a bit; I vary between:

Which computer - I have several.
Oh, I'll report that to my IT department.
Are you sure Danny is your name, because you don't sound like a Danny.
How do you know it is my computer?

And anything else which I feel like.

I told them that I had a Mac. They quickly hung up.

They managed to fool my mum though, and got her to give remote access to her computer.

Oh I love these guys! I like wasting their time. I play thick and pretend to have a very slow PC, so everything they ask me to do I take ages with. They try and get you to install some software so they can remote connect, so I pretend to install it, and when they ask for a connection key, make one up. Of course it doesn't connect, leading to a slow reboot of the router to see if that helps, and wait, my internet doesn't seem to be reconnecting can you help me?

I kept one on the line for over 40 minutes - I figured at least he wasn't hassling anyone else in that time

Get these all the time, depending on my mood we either play along or let them go through their spiel then say I dont have a computer. First one this week then got angry and said 'You let me go through all that and you dont have a computer?' then put the phone down. Yesterday's was a little more sinister - he then told me what he was going to do to me sexually. I'm afraid I just laughed at him which may not have been the best thing

The best we have had was when my husband then pretended to hit me while I 'screamed' for messing with his computer and breaking it, all the time he kept up a dialogue with the caller, who ended up begging him not to hit me again! They're a total nuisance but if you can't beat em, join em so we see who can annoy first

As that nice Indian lady who rang earlier was so helpful, I thought I would report to action fraud as four others had reported the number today.

Well, we met rename them Inaction Fraud instead. No wonder these calls continue.
