ask him what your IP address is... presumably he knows if he has detected you have malware.

Ask him if he thinks the malware could be sexually transmitted due to the large amount of porn you have been viewing recently.

I had one of these - he said i was taking the piss out of him and hoped id die. Then he said he was sending the police around to arrest me for breaking the law against cold callers and for Racial aggrevation.

He then called me a retard - he got upset when I asked him if he was the slumdog from slumdog millionaire and did he live in a sewer.

The conversation/fight went on a bit - when I asked him where his office was he gave me my address and postcode over the phone inc my name and tel number. At that point I hung up. Was quite ammusing for a short period.

Genuine Lolz; wasting [i]his[/i] time? What a joke, who phoned whom? I keep hoping I'll get one of these, I'd love to string one along with my PowerBook open but unpowered on my lap so he can hear the keys tapping. Sooner or later I'd have to mention not finding a particular function in OS X, then point out he's a scamming scumbag and hang up.

I had one of these guys ring me up and he seemed mighty confused when I told him we don't have any windows computers in this house..... He still kept trying to get me to open up a DOS prompt thingummy.....

i had one of these a-holes on the phone one night. Strung him along until i said a new web page had opened up. When he asked what it was i read out www.gettae****.com

the plonker asked me to spell it before i fell about laughing.

My favourite game involves seeing how long you can keep them on the line using only the words yes and hello. Gets very funny quite quickly!

I don't think they can hang up from my experience. I was quite nasty to him and he was still hanging on
