    They're no fun to bait, anyway. The guy I spoke to the first time was truly stupid! The guy offering audible prompts in the background wasn't much better.:D

    Beg to differ Nozzer, got a fair bit of racist/homophobic/sexual/intellectual/religious insults off my chest in my encounter.

    The lad gave back as good as he got in fairness,but was no match for the auld Flutther.

    Got this call a few time recently as well, oddly he knew my name (I'm not the one listed in the house), naturally I told him where to shove it.

    Just in case, I thought I'd ring my grandparents to let them know not to entertain any such calls (not that I thought they'd really fall for it anyway).
    5 minutes later, my grandad rings me back to say that the same guy had rang him :eek:, and that he had great fun screaming abuse at the lad on the phone.

    My wife gave them control of the computer. I had to rebuild it in case it was compromised.

    Anyway, they called again with the same story and I told them "that I didn't own a computer". Haven't heard from them since.

    Keep cool.
