    I suppose the problem is that you might troll them back with a witty response - but they might exact revenge by calling you more often..

    I once told them I didn't have a computer because the electromagnetic waves they give off causes cancer and I went on try and sell them some healing crystals to protect them from the very dangerous work they're doing

    I just keep them going and then tell them that I have a Mac.

    That normally stresses them out.

    It's ways good fun to waste their time. It's a public service, preventing them from scamming people who could be misled.

    I got one of these tossers and just hung up on him as he was in mid spiel. He then phoned back.

    "Why did you hang up on me?"
    "Because you're a ******* scammer. Does your mother know what your doing?".

    *Ring Ring* *Ring Ring*

    Me: Hello
    *pause*
    Other: Hi Yes my name is ... I'm from BT
    Me: Hi
    Other: You have people on your internet
    Me: Oh really, that's not good
    Other: Yes, are you in-front of your pc?
    Me: Yes, but wait a minute, what's your telephone number
    Other: Why you need my telephone number
    Me: So I can phone you back at BT
    Other: what you need to phone me for
    Me: Because you don't work for BT you *ickhead*, just *uck off and get a proper *ucking job, you *wat,
    Other..........you *uck off too



    Actually enjoyed the exchange. He's lucky because I was busy and the last guy that tried it, I managed to keep on the phone for 20 mins(15 of which on hold)before telling him where to go.
