You all have some very funny things to do to these callers. I sometimes had the phone to a grandson and let them try to communicate with him. Other times I simply pick up my playground whistle and blow.

I got a call about my computer and windows was a problem and they could fix it! I said to them I don't use windows, I have a Mac and I hung up.

You guys are too funny. I usually don't answer the phone if I don't recognize the number. Lately my DH has been calling the numbers that show on caller ID and usually get a recording that the number is not in service. Strange since they just called ME.

Good one! I tell them we have several computers and to tell me the IP address of the infected one. They give a string of at least 25 numbers with a few dots thrown in. I tell them to please hold and I'll turn on the computer and walk away.

I like yours better. I'll try that next time.

My husban has been known to use an airhorn on the callers that just won't give up. Finally they do. I don't know why.

The last time I got their call they said they were from Microsoft Technical support. I said "but wait, I work in Microsoft technical support, so you must be a fraud and we will be reporting you!" Click. I don't, but it got rid of them!
