Anyone ever gotten a call from someone saying "Hello, we are calling from Windows and your computer looks like it is infected. Our Microsoft Certified Technician can fix it for you."Or something along those lines?

I have the best time messing with these people, as I did yesterday:

That's been around forever. I fuck with the incessantly. I don't get why I am not on some list to never call anymore because of the amount of their time I waste.

One time I offered to give them my credit card almost right away. He as obviously very happy. I then wasted 10 minutes looking for my card only to tell him "oh right, I don't have a credit card."
He still didn't hang up, pushed to get me to go an install their "Remote software to diagnose my computer." Spend another 5 minutes pretending to boot my machine, then said "Oh wait, this is a typewriter."
He then told me to "fuck a goat" and finally hung up. Great entertainment. My wife looks forward to them calling now.

I actually wish I could get on more lists. I had some fun with political ones. All of these are on our landline phone.
Actually answered a survey last night with no less than four different accents. I'll upload it here in a bit.
