Most telemarketers are totally harmless. But lately, there have been people calling saying that there is something wrong with my computer, it's been infected by a virus and it's IT folks claling to do a Windows cleanup .
I didn't fall for it because I did hear about others who had fallen victim to this crime (basically they get charged $200 on their credit card for a service that never happens). That's a good chunk of money to part with.
Instead, I just lead them on. I make all these sounds like I'm very worried/scared about the whole situation. Then I start asking them if they can specify what virus I've been infected with or from what site. They can never tell me.
Then after I've had my fun and games, I tell him my husband is a techie and I know they're a fraud. Click!
Well, if these types of nasty telemarketers are going to waste my time, I'm going to waste theirs.
