I Said A Bad Word To A Phone Scammer When I Told Him To Shut Up…

🤬 He claimed to be calling from “Account Services”. I asked him what company is Account Services. His reply was Wisa and Mastercard. 😂 Told him you’re not even American or you would know how to pronounce the names of those companies, you’re a scammer. He denied and then I told him. I’m running out of patience.

I used to get calls all the time from scammers claiming to be Microsoft help desk that they received a report that my computer sent them a report that it had a virus. I begin all queries like this with, “which computer?” They respond “ your Microsoft computer.” I tell them “be specific and tell me exactly which of my computers reported the virus.” They repeatedly tell me my Microsoft computer and could they access my computer to fix it?” Again I tell them that they have to tell me which one since I have more than one computer (I don’t but they don’t know that but if it was really Microsoft they could tell me specifically make and model and even serial number) but the scammers don’t have that information and they always hang up on me because I tell them if they can’t tell me which one then no they can’t have access and I know for a fact Microsoft never calls customers about any reports made by any computer and it is always up to the customer to contact Microsoft if they have a problem, so I tell them that I know they are scammers and that I’m going to report them. They hang up on me. I never have to hang up on them and I love hearing them fumble around trying to get me to do what they want and eventually hang up in frustration l. I should write a script for people on what to say just like this. I have heard of too many people even in their 30’s and 40’s falling for this crap because they don’t know that Microsoft will never call them out of concern for their computer having a virus.

@Luckylu If I have time and energy for it I tell them I have to warm my computer up and then make clicking sounds with my IPad keyboard. I try to waste at least 20 minutes on them this way or as long as I can. The fun part is telling them that my computer is broken and I don’t have one so they are full of $h!t and scammers. Then the cussing starts and I cuss back in their language…a few little choice words and laugh at them. If they get real nasty I walk outside and blast them with my air horn.

@cherokeepatti I need to go buy an air horn. 🤣

@Luckylu I bought one at Dollar Tree for a dollar that is plastic and you slide it, oh geez it makes the loudest noise. I can’t do it inside with my birds inside. I also have canned air horn that I bought for about a dollar that I’ve never used yet. Maybe save it for an emergency or something.
@Luckylu I used to get those too. I kept telling them I had a Mac (which I did), and they ignored that bit of info. So, I went along with what they were telling me, pulling up the Start menu, them asking if I had whatever on the start menu and me telling them I didn't have a Start menu.
