@countcol I may or may not have led more than one scammer on by asking what they were wearing in a breathy voice. They'd usually try to stick to the script but after my banter started escalating they would eventually figure it out and hang up. Good times.

@Lichtenbergian @countcol the other day I also got a call from a woman talking in English with an Indian accent claiming to be from my internet provider or something because a hacker had entered my network. I wonder why people fall for that.

@Disputatore @Lichtenbergian @countcol I always say "Sorry, can't understand you. Can you get someone who speaks English?"

@JohnLoader6 @Disputatore @Lichtenbergian @countcol Or, in my part of the world, insist the scammer speaks Welsh? (I'd be stuffed at the moment if they complied 🤪 )

@Henrysbridge @JohnLoader6 @Lichtenbergian @countcol I thought of that. To just carry on the conversation but in Portuguese.

@Disputatore @Henrysbridge @JohnLoader6 @Lichtenbergian @countcol I once answered everything in Dutch.It went something like thisScammer: Your computer has a virus.Me: Een virus! Dat is niet mooi. Ja, dat is een probleem. Wat nu! Scammer: Do you speak English, sir?Me: Yes! Sure! Ik spreek Engels. Wat zei u ook weer? ... etc.
