I get phone calls from a guy with a heavy Indian accent saying his name is David sometimes it’s Neil, Tom, Barry, etc. haha! and he is from Microsoft support and my computer is sending error messages. I know this is some scam because Microsoft doesn’t call people telling them their computer has problems, so I play with them.,I ask which computer, I have four? They fumble and say go to your computer and open a cmd prompt. I ask which computer, they say all of them. I ask what is the name of the computer they fumble some more,and say sir you have serious problem.,I continue with the which one, and what is the IP address of the computer, they do a bad job of avoiding my questions, I ask them questions they can’t answer, etc I end up playing with them for about ten minutes and they get frustrated call me all sorts of things, etc… It’s fun.

Next time, ask them to hang on, set your phone in front of a speaker with some Slim Whitman music playing. Their head will explode
