Paul Blade Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Just had a bloke from "Microsoft" on the phone, showing me all the faults I have on my computer, for 24 minutes he was telling me how my computer was about to crash, he even showed me the "Error" files, and phoned me back up when the line went bad. A total of 24 minutes 18 seconds he spent, before I told him I was a certified Microsoft engineer, and that I was using the "Red Hat" OS. He hung up ................ I wonder why? No I'm not a Microsoft engineer and I'm not using Linux, but it was the best laugh I've had for days, Had to share it. Well done, their job is to scam people out of money, bunch of thieving leeches. Waste their time and cut their earnings. Unfortunately some people don't think the same they reckon you should just swear at them and ring up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gav Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 There's loads vids on You Tube where folk have had fun wasting their time. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=microsoft+phone+scams&oq=microsoft+phone+sc&gs_l=youtube.3.0.0.7252.19426.0.21242.20.16.1.3.3.0.291.3083.1j9j6.16.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.iLaY5SuHNn4 My personal favourite is to give them access to a virtual machine running Windows 98, and watch their brains break:+). In an ideal world, I'd like to figure out how to include some form of payload which would infect the scammer's machine, but I suspect: This would be easier said than done This would be seen in the eyes of the law as worse than the activity of the scammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no idea about what sort of device could do that though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Gav Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Pity you haven't got Windows 3.1 (or earlier) - that would really screw 'em I have now...Huzzah! Just located a little treasure trove of old programs/ operating systems from Windows 1 +, Macintosh, Amiga etc. (Before anyone complains, I have been informed that there's nothing naughty about downloading any of these, since they officially stopped being supported years ago) Let the scam baiting begin!

Mr Gav Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I suspect it's a false positive, possibly due to the sheer age of some of the software (Internet Explorer 1 for example). As with anything you download, it's always a good idea to scan for nasties. I scanned the url with a few different tools and have included the results below so you can make your own informed choice.
