MORE FUN WITH TELEMARKETERS

Today a guy called me with one of those "Your computer might have been hacked, we need to gain access to it" things. I was on the phone in the kitchen the whole time.

As always when one of these scammers call, I pretended like I was going along with what he wanted me to do. At the stage where the box is supposed to appear on the screen I said I couldn't make out what it said. I stalled for about thirty seconds. The guy, who by the way had an accent but was going by the name Alex Carter, asked me if I needed to get my glasses. I said "Yes." I waited a few seconds and said, "Oh, the computer's just exploded. I'll have to call you back." I then hung up the phone.
