Dodgy call from Indian 'Windows Technical Support'

[ChimpMaster]

Just had a call from a dodgy Indian call centre, cracked me up. Bob, clearly reading from a script was trying to tell me that I had a problem with my computer and that he knew this because my PC had been sending alerts to his technical support centre.

How? I asked. But alas, no answer.

Which company are you calling from? I asked. "Windows Technical Support Centre". Lovely, I thought.

I actually laughed out loud, and even then his script-following skills were extraordinary. He kept on going, trying to get me to turn my computer on and follow his instructions, even after I told him I'm an IT expert and he can just tell me what the problem his. "Download our software"

I kept him going for about 3 minutes before he couldn't take my sarcasm and laughter any longer. I wish I'd played it smarter and even told him he was disrespecting his parents or something. That would've gotten his goat.

Sounds quite similar to this guy's experience:-

Is there a redirect function on your phone? If so, put him through to RBS head office.

I told my caller his god would not be happy and he was going to hell.

Felt bad afterwards.

Because even the devil would be unhappy with him?

Had yet another bob call last night. They won't be calling back after spinning "Dravid" along for about 1/2 hour before discussing my favourite beef dish (cooked rare).

Start talking about gas boilers and central heating – that gets ‘em every time.

Ask them how to bleed the radiators, and then ask them about chutney spoons.
