I've just had a phone call from an Indian man telling me my Internet Service is faulty, and he was explaining it to me fairly accurately, only to then suggest a £139 one off payment on a website that would protect my Laptop for life. "I am working with Microsoft technicians"
He had me on the phone for 30 minutes. As I say, his description of the (minor) problems with my laptop were fairly accurate, so I stayed on the line. I think I was right to get suspicious... Also, I wonder if it was one of those phone lines were it costs £5 a minute - he did keep repeating the same lines!
Yeah, not because I thought it was real but to see if anyone had actually created a web page in that name! People do some crazy ****, after all!
I get them regularly so I fake interest and ask them to hold on whilst I go to my computer room phone ............................Then I leave the phone off the hook and go and have a meal or a coffee on the patio lol. If it is an Indian Accent the next time I just tell them to Feck Off!
My missus was having trouble connecting to internet a couple of years ago, she rang the company she bought her laptop from and spoke to one of the tech guys, after the usual turn on turn off stuff he asked her to connect to internet using ethernet, and he would drain the power from her laptop and it would fix it!! And would only cost £89. Needless to say he got some abuse and we have not bougth anything from a certain electrical superstore that is named after a solar body
Stars are solar bodies though, in as much as the sun is a star. I was trying to work out if he meant cellestial bodies though. The only shops I could think of were Comet and PC World and neither are solar.
