THIS IS FROM OLD ACCOUNT


So this morning i was woken up to my phone ringing. Ofcourse i go to answer it thinking it was family or friends. I was wrong as the number was unown so i decided to answer only to find one of those indian scammers saying my computer is broken... So here's what happaned.

Me: Hello *I say blankly*

Scammer: Hello my name is John and we see that your computer is broken

Obviously knowing its a scammer i playfully go along with it.

Me:
Oh i had no idea?

Scammer: Yes i work for windows microsoft and your computer is filled with viruses

Me: Are you here because you want to help me?

Scammer: Yes can you go to your windows 7 computer right now

Me: Um Yes i can actually

Scammer: Okay are you there?

Me: Yes..Yes i am

Scammer: Okay you will now go to your browser, Google Chrome, Explorer, or Fox (Yes he called MozillaFireFox Fox...) This should be the only thing on your computer that is not slow or laggy

Ok i know for a fact that Internet is one of the most slowest things in the world when having viruses on your computer

Me:
Yes im there what now?

Scammer: Yes you will now type in SH, okay?

Me: Okay SH now what?

Scammer: ok now OWMY

Me: Okay

Scammer: And lastly PC.com. Please repeat it back to me please

Me: ShowMyPC.com

Now what ShowMyPC.com is a website where you can tell someone your password that the website gives you to show your desktop to them and let them actually move the mouse on it. Which could let them screw your computer up

Scammer:
Yes i need you to cli-

This is when i spill the beans...

Me: Can i tell you something?

Scammer: what sir?

Me: Microsoft wouldnt call to tell me that i have viruses. There isnt just a technology to do that. Microsoft is a company that makes systems/technology for people.

Scammer: Sir i don't work for Microsoft i work for ShowMyPc

Me: Well earlier you said you worked for microsoft and also right on the ShowMyPc website it saids "We dont call to tell you that you have viruses"

Scammer: No Sir *Getting Mad* That is the web browser we are the company. it saids to not take calls from the Webbrowser

Me: Ok so you're saying that the website has nothing to do with the company even though thats the main way to get access to your stuff

Scammer: Yes sir can we get back to what we were doing?

Me: No not really when you have no idea what you are doing, whats your name anyways? (I obviously remembered him saying john just wanted to see his reaction)

It literally took him around 40 seconds to say something i was even thinking of hanging up

Scammer:
My name is Steven sir is already told you.

Me: Oh so its John Stevens? Good name

Scammer: Are you playing a game with me sir my name is John Shatski and your computer is really broken are you still at our website

Me: *Laughing* Its not your website also i guess you dont even know your own name do you? John Stevens Shatski

Scammer: Sir i work for microsoft i know it is not my website we just use it to fix your computer.

Me: Ok i want you to go back on your computer and see what i said earlier

Scammer: You know what im hanging up have a good time with your broken computer Mother ******

Me: Ok bye sir *Still Laughing*

So thats what my whole convo was with John Stevens Shatski who i looked up and isnt even a real person so yeah.... Ok well thats it for now Good Bye!
