Funny phone call: fastsupport.com Indian scammers
 
Got a call this morning at 7am. Hackers are logging into my email. Oh no! :eek:

Hackers from ... Ohio? :laugh:

Abbreviated humorous version of conversation:

Her: "Please sir, sit at your computer."

Me: (sits at Linux desktop) :P

Her: "Tell me when that's done."

Me: "Yep."

Her: "Do you see the CTRL key on the lower right of the keyboard?"

Me: "Yep."

Her: "What do you see on the key next to it."

Me: "A flag."

Her: "...? You mean a Windows key?"

Me: "Nope. I see a flag."

Her: "Sir, let me pass you to my supervisor since your issue seems complex." :laugh:

Him: "Sir, press the flag key + R. What do you see."

Me: "Application Finder."

Him: "...? Sir, you didn't press the right keys. Try this, open Mozilla Firefore or Google Chrome."

Me: "Do what now?" :question: :P

Him: "Open your web browser, and type dub-vu dub-vu dub-vu dot faaspot dot com into search. What do you see?"

Me: "Don't you know?" :laugh:

Him: "Sir, just please type it, and let me know what you see."


Me: "Well, all righty." ... and then I proceed to type it into the CNN.com search :wink2: ... "No documents found."

Him: "Sir, it appears the hackers are now in your system, we must act fast. Do you know what a firewall is?"

Me: "Nope."

Him: blah blah blah "... and then you'll be fixed to prevent the hackers."


Me: "That sounds like too much work, and I don't want to do that. I'll just turn off the computer so they can't get in no more." :laugh:

Him: "Sir, that will not work. When you turn it on again, the hackers will come back."

Me: "Well then, I'll just use it late at night, when the hackers are asleep." :laugh::laugh: (I almost lost it here.)

Him: Raises voice... "Sir... no... that... we must reinitialize your firewall now. Otherwise they may get into your system and hack it, or shut it down."

Me: "Is that all? I'll fix their wagon right now." <quick pause> "Alright, there. I yanked the electric plug out of the wall, and it shut down without saving their work. That'll teach the bastards not to mess with me." :laugh::laugh::laugh: (I almost lost it again.)

Him: "Sir ... ??? ... <sigh> ... good luck sir." <click>

I have had them yell and tell me I'm stupid when I act clueless and take up their time. :laugh::laugh: I like to waste their time if I'm not busy.
.....At which computer should I sit?
.....Windows? None of them are by the windows
.....Oh no! It's not on, it will take a while to come on.
......Its on now, but my internet is real slow
......I couldnt understand you, can you spell it
etc.
