[darkstar]

So I have had 3 phone calls from badly spoken Indian English telling me that my computer has faults . So I asked them how thy new and the answer was my genuine Windows had told them .even when I told them my windows was blag no its not its genuine he told me .
So I have a question , what is the long letters and numbers that thy told me to put in notes I take it that is some sort of back door

A friend of mine had this call 3 weeks ago,they don't know anything about computers and took their word there was a problem and let them have remote access to their laptop, hence they started getting problems with laptop and bring it to me to fix. Reformated laptop and told them to change all their passwords including bank details, hopefully nothing will come of this,so beware don't let them access your computer and hang up.

2 calls today. First one the missus just hung up on. The 2nd was from "Windows Support". I let him begin the spiel and when he took a breath I told him my computer was Linux he lost his place in his script. After a few seconds pause the line went dead.

We used to have a competition in the office to see who could keep them on the line the longest before they got fed up and hung up!

I had a shit time but my mate had them on the phone for ages, they only hung up when he started asking them if they wanted to see his collection of animal porn!
