The other day I got a call from Windows Support about my computer being infected with a virus. I only have a Mac but knowing this was a scam call I played along for 15-20 minutes. Then I finally told the person calling that I don't have any computer running Windows and he got quite angry and wondering "why are you wasting my time?". Told him it was to prevent him from calling and scamming other people. He yelled "fuck off" and hung up. Made my day :)

How do you handle these phone calls?

Let them install teamviewer on my pc and connect. Then let them explore my Linux mint. I wish I could see their faces when they realize its not Windows.

I wish I could +1 multiple times! You're a hero to the interwebs.

Did the same the other day 😂 The guy just hung up on me when I told him

I always let them play in a VM. Feels like I have a pet animal now.

i actually got a call from these fools the other day, sadly i was at work and couldnt mess with them!

I will definitely try this if I get one!

I love making them mess around in a VM. And then once they find out, they go ahead and delete all the files. It's great

My hero

Awesome

@wgroenewold this is the best way to handle that type of scamers!

Had these calls aswell, this post made my day

@wgroenewold that's funny.
