Sadly I don’t have video of the experience, but I did manage to keep some of them on the line for 97 minutes yesterday, including giving them access to my “computer” (which was in reality a virtual machine with nothing important on it, so when they screwed it up all I had to do was delete it). If you’re interested in more details, see http://www.casaderobison.com/2013/10/05/messing-with-scammers/ where I recounted the story last night. It’s a little long but hopefully sufficiently amusing. Note: This is not spam (though why should you believe me) and I have no ads or other revenue stream on my blog. Not trying to increase hits, just share the story. :)

Needless to say, I was thrilled. I let him do his spiel, asked him how he could be receiving any error notifications from my computer, asked him what it meant when he said windows was corrupt, etc. He stammered and repreated some of the earlier spiel, so then I launched into about 15 minutes of “how do you sleep at night, you are evil” mixed with lots and lots of foul language. I explained how his kids would grow up hating their father for the evil that he did, how his name would go down in history the equal of Hitler’s, etc. It took me berating him for 15 minutes before he finally said, fuck you and hung up. Got another call a week later, repeated the performance, he hung up quietly shortly after I began ranting. But man was the first call fun!

Almost makes me want to get one of those calls so I can mess with them. I’m surprised the guy stayed on as long as he did.
