This Really Happened To Me This Morning.

I've been getting calls from the 'Windows Support' scammers for months now.

At some point I realized the easiest way to get them to hang up was telling them I only use Linux.

This morning, I got another call. This honestly happened just like this.


Them: "Hello, this is support and our systems are showing that you are having a problem with your computer."

Me (very annoyed): "Look, I've been asking you guys to stop calling me for months. I know you're scamming, I know how this works, and I DON'T EVEN HAVE A WINDOWS COMPUTER."

Them: "That's ok sir I'm calling about your Apple computer."

Me (angry now): "I DON'T HAVE AN APPLE COMPUTER."

Them: "Do you have a banana computer?"

Me (curious and intrigued, far less anger in my voice): "Uhh... Yes, I do have a banana computer, what now?"

Them: "You should take out your banana computer and jerk it, because you're a jerk."


I wish the guy hadn't hung up, because I would have laughed and been much nicer to him after that. I may have even gone ahead and given him my credit card, because that was a good one.
