I load Meatloafs original Bat out of Hell CD, turn the volume up high, and put it on pause.
When I get a call 'Is that Mr ......... ' in a heavy foreign acccent, I say, 'I'll just get him for you, just putting you on hold'
Put the phone by the speaker, and press play.......

;D ;D
Wish I'd had that idea a wee while ago when someone from the sub-continent called. Claimed his name was Lester and was from a company called Technowitty (yep, actually got him to spell out the name!).
Told me I had a virus on my PC.
Told him it was a scam.
He hung up. ;)

had a similar call from scammer.
let him get through pre-amble....
then started asking a few innocent questions....
then started letting him try and tell me what to do ......
had an absolute scream letting him try and talk me through doing something on a non existent windows PC.
them "click on the start menu"
me "what start menu?"
them, "usually at the bottom left , on the tool bar"
me " there is no tool bar on the bottom"
them " maybe you have it at the top? "
me " well, there is a menu bar at the top, but there's no "start" item "
them, "at the end...."
me " nope"
them, it's how you access menus and close down, restart etc"
me " oh you mean where the fruit symbol is ??? "
them " sorry?"
Me " well, I'm a mac user, i was just wondering how you thought i had a virus, and how you detected it , here at work, i have several layers of firewall, hardware and OS level, stealth mode engaged, even have Sophos installed....just so i don;t pass on , what are to me, harmless file infections to PC users... so tell me...... what exactly did you think you were doing?"
them " beeeeeeeeeeeep" hung up/

My record is 45 minutes before they realise what I've done ..... when I get the call I tell them the system is of and I need to start it .. "Ok go ahead" they say .... so I boot the laptop with the "Linux from CD" disk in .... and the fun starts as I "can't find" any of the links they tell me I should have .. this must be "because your computor is badly infected"... 'tis a good laugh trying to keep them guessing .. :)

A few years back my youngest daughter would chat "drivel" to them as long as they could stand/afford it! ;)
