Microsoft Tech Support India.

The title tells it all doesn't it?
I haven't had a call from Colin/Alan/Andrew from Mumbai for ages, normally when I hear the opening lines in fractured English, that 'we have noticed a connectivity issue with your computer' I always answer, 'Cock' and hang up. My grammar school education serves me well in situation like those.
Tonight Alan phoned me.....same opening lines and asking me what version of Windows I had, I was tempted to say, 'Cock' or even 'Everest double glazing' but I resisted, so my convo went something like this, ' Look Alan, I appreciate what you are trying to do mate, I have a lot of illegal stuff on my computer and a lot of porn sites, they are ok but I don't want anyone else seeing my list of Tesco customers bank details, you being a thieving bastard too will understand that......'click...' Alan?.... Alan? ...you still there mate'?

Does Alan call you?

You need a few Viruses to build up a resistance, that was my reply, but, these calls seem to have dried up of late, or, I am getting out more.

I've got fed up with playing them along and just say, "No it isn't", "No it hasn't" or "That's OK, cut me off the Internet then."

It goes like this, awaits opening line from Colin the caller, then I whisper, ' I have done it......But, there's blood everywhere' I am hoping for a good reaction, maybe a quick visit from the police?
