Most are also paid on how quickly they process calls. I see lots of people tell them that they need to talk to XXXXX where XXXXX is some random name and that they'll put them through to them but then just put them on hold permanently seems to work well at stopping them coming back too often.
Of course, this was always a pretty funny solution too: <http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/12/the-telecrapper-2000/> http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/12/the-telecrapper-2000/ Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL (1300 775 775) office | +61 419201410 mobile│ +61 3 8676 4913 fax SQL Down Under | Web: <http://www.sqldownunder.com/> www.sqldownunder.com From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Arjang Assadi Sent: Thursday, 7 June 2012 10:25 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] It's not Friday, but I've had a tough last 3 weeks ... I'm sure they understand all English swear words mate :) Just try ... Nop, That is not recomended, for follwoing reasons: The scammers have your details, they might decide to move you to their VIP list or god knows what ever other evil scham list they might have. After all they are criminals and last thing honest people need is to have any more interaction with shady types than the absolute minimum. Just pretend they are selling a service you are not intrested in and move on, scams work statistically, and no matter how many people decide to do something about it they just move shop and methods. Do a read on scham histories their methods and techniques, they are just an industry ( of artistic/creative/illegal/immoral type) that have existsted and will continue to exist due to the very human nature. Maybe somebody can offer them a legit job, after all people will tend towards honest work if they are given the chance, here is an inspriring story : http://www.michaelcarwile.com/inspiring-man-gives-coat-to-his-mugger/ Curse the cause that makes people go down into the illegit path not the people, people can always change if only given the chance.

So I got her an iMac. Convo starts "You've got a Windows computer" "NO" From there it's downhill for them. I suppose eventually they'll get a script for Apples.
