Nikon D810: D600 (Astro Modded): D7200 and 'stuff', lots of 'stuff'
Just now I took a call from an Indian lady who was telling me that "corrupt internet files are accessing your computer".
I replied, "I know of one corrupt thing that will not be accessing my computer. That is you!" and hung up. I think am losing my sense of humour.

Don't do that.Originally Posted by Hawthy
And don't string them along. The people phoning you are probably poor people trying to make a living. Do they know the consequences of what they are doing? I suppose they must, but I'm not sure.
I just take note of their name and say "goodbye (insert name)" after their first sentence.
That's no fun!

I get the occasional call on my mobile claining to be from "esure" and asking if I've had a car accident in the past year and whether I'd made a claim. I always ask them which car they are asking about (We have 3 cars in our family), and they claim that due to privacy reasons they can't disclose that information.
Well says I, you called me so you should know which one you mean so unless you tell me I'm not prepared to discuss anything further with you and they hang up. Funniest part about this is that esure is a UK company that as far as I can find out doesn't operate in Australia.

Ask them, "Are YOU sure?"
Same carp as my "Opt(op)us".
CC, Image editing OK.
Totally disagree Mark.
Stringing them along can be fun AND every minute of their time I waste is a minute they aren't taking advantage of someone gullible enough to fall for their lies.
Oh and for those on mobiles - fantastic app "Should I answer".
