Oh my God and if I do not comply with paying them the police will come knocking at my door. A multi Billion dollar company also accepts Wal-Mart gift cards.   What sucks about this is that I am in a position where I have to receive calls from people I do not know (Contracts) and while I usually hang up on these scammers; what are some funny ways of loving with them or maybe find that perfect solution to get them to stop calling me.

I got two calls of this poo poo today, actually. Except the lady robot voice repeated the number three times and in a slightly suggestive voice. I think the totally legit reason given was that I paid for my PC to be cleaned by them last month (which I didn't) but the payment didn't go through and also microsoft is shutting down and they need the money NOW. Obviously I'm misremembering stuff but gently caress it if I'm gonna commit any more of it memory. A suggestion from the ask/tell common scams thread I just remembered was "buy an airhorn, call back, then let it rip" Probably if there's an actual human on the other line. Results may vary. Also: I think it was exactly the same type of robot voice that called me last year and left a message about how my IP address got compromised by hackers in several different countries, urging me to pick up the phone and press 1 RIGHT NOW or I will face the consequences. The voice also made a terrible computer-being-strangled screech when it said the word "countries". Oh scam stories

I run the phone system at work and for some reason we can mask our outgoing number for caller ID as literally any number. I wanted to try calling someone as 911 but part of me thinks it’d trip some sort of alarm and get me in trouble lol.

I used to play a game where I would say increasingly weird and stupid poo poo to waste their time and to see how long I could keep them on the hook. One of my favorite things to do would be to say everything they say to you but in the form of a question and see how long before they catch on to what you're doing.. I think the longest I ever kept one of them on the phone was about 15 minutes. On one occasion I told the guy my computer was hosed up from downloading lots of porn. He then wanted to be relatable I guess, so then he started talking about watching porn and made some weird comment about jerking off but he phrased it awkwardly because he was Indian so it was one of those things that most likely gets lost in translation. I just laughed and hung up on that one.

I used to occasionally get calls from robots reading out a long script. One time I was curious to see what would happen if I allowed the robot to finish its script so I just put the phone down on the desk while it said whatever, and waited. What actually happened was that I got another call a couple of minutes later and that time it was a human being. So I guess the robot is a filter to see who is dumb enough to actually be worth calling (it's me). It didn't lead to more or fewer calls after that though, as far as I could tell.Katamari Democracy posted:Oh that has got to suck. Just call them a fuckwit and hang up, how difficult is this

The way you defeat an Indian boiler room is by making your time less valuable than theirs, which shouldn't be a problem for most goons.

You used to be able to spin up a VM and play with them but they have adapted. Since they are often in India you'll want to learn some basic swears in Hindi and remind them that Pakistan is #1!

Look you just set up a virtual machine and install whatever OS you want but then you have to give it like no resources (2GB of RAM, windows 8.1, single core) then open up the nastiest porn and shock images you can find. Now suspend the VM so you can quickly boot it back to it's current state without having to go through a boot screen. When you get a scam call play along until they remote in. Have them remote into the VM of horror and act like it's perfectly normal. There are a ton of things that can run VMs, so I'll let you figure that part out, I recommend just installing the Hyper-V role if you have Windows 10 professional as it's going to be the easiest to work with. If you have no idea what a VM is, you can think of it like an emulator but an entire computer. It's not actually emulating something but you can sure as hell just treat it like that. There is (intentionally) no way to get back to the host (your actual computer) from the VM unless you specifically allow it. You can watch all the fine by opening the console, if you do this please record both video (the screen) and audio (the phone) if it is legal to do so in your location.

I was really proud of my 92 year old grandma a couple months ago, she got one of these calls but told the guy "I don't think this is something Microsoft would do, I'm going to check with someone else" and called me and asked if she did the right thing
