This morning my wife answered the telephone and I heard her say to the caller, " Speak to my husband he understands things about Computers ."
Taking the call, I was informed ( by a male person with a strong sounding Indian accent) " I am Wayne and I am speaking to you from Windows Technical Section about a fault which you have on your Computer Equipment." However, he immediately terminated the call when I said "Are you able to give me an indication of which Computer is involved."
My wife knew it was a Scam Call and passed it to me because I can enjoy playing along a Scammer. Perhaps, I should have said something different.!!??
When I get scam calls for Mr Fusion and I say he is not here, they always 'what time will he be in' to which I reply 'in about 15 years if he keeps his nose clean in prison'.
Think I may have spoken to Wayne. I asked him if it was the computer I used at work and if all the Government computers had a fault! Call ended rather quickly.
@chaptazbru2......No I did not get a number; only 'Caller has withheld number.'
I like your approach Mamyalynne.
The next time I get a call from a supposed Windows Wizard I think I will try and explain that I have a Micro-Soft problem which involves my Connection and that my ISP ( Interactive Service Provider) Viagara is proving to be somewhat useless in solving my problem. Very very slow upward speed which appears to be complicating downward results.
I asked because there is an 00845 number doing the rounds nowadays who can sometimes be quite nasty. They plagued me for a few months some time ago, but seem to have stopped now. But obviously it wasn't them in your case.
I left Wayne listening to radio 3 for 10 mins...obviously did not enjoy the experience as he was gone when I returned fro my urgent business to attend to at front door...
" I am delighted that you have called - I've been looking for someone to clean the windows. We've got 68 of them and that should keep you pretty busy all day - how much did you say? You'll match our local Estonian, £5 an hour and one 15 minute break for a salmon and rabbit sandwich?"
Mr AC answered the phone to a 'Wayne' one day. He asked in a high pitched, camp voice' Ooooh, Wayney. Did you phone me because of my double D boobies, or my double E piles? Oooh, lonely hearts is great'. To this day I don't know what was said on the other side, but I cried my eyes out, and had a stitch from laughter!
