nmgA new record! Last time I kept them on the line for 37 minutes before pointing out that I knew what they were doing. Result: they phoned me back to insult me.
This time I managed to wind them up enough *within 15 seconds* that they phoned me back to insult me.

Date: 2011-11-04 09:46 am (UTC)This time my response was more along the lines of "So, is this a call where you try to get me to install software on my computer that gives you remote access to it, and I waste your time for half an hour before calling you a scammer and telling you to go and fuck a cow? So let's just cut to the chase: go and fuck a cow."
I'll try harder next time, I promise.
Also, I need to find some really culturally inappropriate porn that I can point them at.

Not 37 minutes, but I certainly had an angrier callcentre droid than usual.

Next time I get that one I may go with "Oh thank god! what do I do??? She's bleeding everywhere! It wasn't my fault (she made me do it)"
