May be hack into your computer and steal other details

Ooh - can I have a call please.

I'd tell him that my Event viewer is totally clear and see his next statement.

We all know that Event Viewer logs quite a lot of info so he's on to a winner with some people.

I bet his next ploy would be to get you to download and install some Malware to presumably 'fix' the problem.

"Do you have a computer" - you tell me if your a Microsoft affiliated company.

Presumably got your address and phone number from the directory anyway.


Last bit of fun I had was a cold call trying to sell double glazing and conservatories. I had him hooked for about 15 mins before telling him I lived on the 10th floor of a council owned tower block. He wasn't amused for some reason!
I did remind him that he called me and not the other way round :-)

Been down the porch route, but had trouble explaining that my door leads into the driveway under the bedrooms - I live in an old coach house - and if I put a porch on the doorway I might have trouble driving into the back yard and stables. Also have had trouble telling a cavity wall insulation man that in the 1800's the didn't have any holes in the brickwork!
But it's fun.

I've done that one. The conservatory on the first floor flat was my favorite one.
