| Ready for the night shift to call about my Cpmpuuuter! |
Those are the words heard most recently on my phone one evening. I get this
kind of call by the same guy from probably Pakistan, telling me they detected a
virus on my ‘Compuuuter”! I need to take care of this and they are the ones to
help me do just that!
I am also told that it is a pc virus, so therefore lucky me,
they can help me.
I own a Mac.
“Oh! How did a virus get into my computer?” I ask.
“Hew must have been to a website that is infected.” I am
told.
I play along with the guy, pretending I am stupid and don’t
know what I’m doing. (OK, I heard that!) Be nice!
I convince him and so he sends me along to his supervisor, I
think the same guy.
He tells me to turn on computer and I say OK.
“Is it on, are you on your compuuuter?”
“Hang on, it takes a few moments to boot!” I am on the
computer all along>
“OK, I’m on.”
“Good, now look at your keyboard on the lower left, do you
see ‘Control’ and Windows Key?”
“Hmmm… Control and, Control and what?”
“Control and Windows Keys.”
“Uh, oh, yes I see them now!”
“Now, tap both keys and hold them down”
“OK, ummm… OK!”
“What do you see, what does the window say?”
“It says you are a lying son of a bitch who is trying to
steal from me, and that you are a low-life and a good argument for abortion”
and I hang up. I love it, can’t wait for the next call.
