Having searched the web on this subject and the various time wasting procedures, I might knock up a VM with bogus data on it, and go through the whole thing with them, let them remote it, or put Teamviewer on it or whatever they do, everything except giving them the CC details. Apparently one chap did this, including the bogus data, and cos he wouldn't pay they starting deleting said data, which is slightly mean.
Trouble is I'm getting a bit bored with it now, I might adopt my mate's approach, which is simply say to them 'Eat my shorts'....

Me too. He point-blank refused to upgrade me from MS-DOS 2.0 to MS-DOS 2.1.Originally posted by zeitghost

Got a call from Microsoft!
I love getting these!
Indian bloke from 'Microsoft' calls saying my computer is failing, picked on the wrong bloke!
1. 10 mins of me expressing sincere concern
2. 10 mins me 'going into the office' upstairs, along the landing into the loft..
3. 10 mins me taking down the 'serial number' they want me to enter and me getting wrong on purpose several times
4. 5 mins looking for the Windows Key on my Mac
Another bloke comes on at this point
5. Another 5 mins trying different combinations of Crtl, Alt etc...
6. Now another 5 mins - we are working like a team, trying to find the 'Start' button
I keep telling him there's no Start button in the bottom left hand corner, just a smiley face labelled 'Finder'
"Is this a Macintosh computer, Sir?'
"Yes, I've been deliberately wasting your time!'
Then he hung up for some reason....
