Och Aye Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres Hard to believe folk are falling for this. Seems to be rife at the moment tho. I've had two calls from them this morning. Ask the guy for address of his company and he hangs up.

perthTam Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Get these regularly ....... if you can be arsed just keep them on the line saying your cannot follow their instructions ........ longer you keep them on the phone the less time they have to con other folk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I had this about 2 months ago...... didn't even know about this type of scam, but straight away I knew something was dodgy, and put down the phone straight away (just said I would get a mate to fix it and never heard back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flure Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I love it. Keep them on the phone for about 20 mins then ask them why I've got a Windows problem when I'm on a Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runningtings Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I had this a couple of years ago. I work in the IT world so know my way around a computer so I went along with it for ages, until they thought I was downloading their file. At this point I told him I was at it and I knew he was scamming me, he then told me "You are a terrible man, you are a shit" then hung up. Didn't get called by them again after that.

Stokesy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) My parents get 2-3 calls a day from these idiots. It doesn't matter how many times you tell them to badger off they keep calling back. I put him next to the TV when a chat show was on last time I was home. That seemed to confuse him for a minute or two, "Sir, are you talking to me?" Think I'm going to put him on 'hold' then play a Cannibal Corpse CD at him next time.

Larky Masher Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 My record is 75 minutes at one point I told the boy I had someone at the door went and had my lunch came back and he was still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
