Only 12 minutes this time.
This one was completely gormless and impossible to sidetrack, he just stuck to his script.
We did the eventvwr thing again.
I played along with the logmein123 thing and bluffed him for as long as I could.
“The technician will be able to help you fix the errors on your computer”
“Will he be able to see everything on my computer ?”
“Yes, he will be able to see all the errors”
“Oh, it’s just that I’ve got some photos on my computer I’d rather not let other people see”
That’s as far as I got before he sussed me.
Normally, if it’s cold call sales, I find out what they’re selling, then say “You’d best speak to my dad about this”.
I then turn away from the phone and shout to an empty room “Dad, there’s someone on the phone about the kitchen/gutters/burglar alarm” and put the phone down without hanging up.
With the ones who are trying to access my computer, it’s worth spinning them along a bit.
