I know you're all savvy here so it won't apply but just a HU to say I received another one of these 'Hello, I'm from Microsoft.. you have a problem with your computer' phone calls. I thanked the Indian/Asian lady and said I'd look into it then put the phone down If you have 'oldies' in your family who are silver-surfers.. you might like to give them a HU. I've just called my Aunt and told her about the call saying that if she gets one, tell the person on the phone you don't have a computer

My wife, gentle & correct person as she is (!) - told one the other day to EFFF OFF!!! Now that was an asian speaking English to a French phone number!!! I wonder what would happen if one answered in french?
Keith

I thought EFFF OFF is French .... oui?

Only if you Pardon it first!!!
Keith

The Efff Off doesn't always work. Some months back my Mrs tried this and hung up. 5 mins later he rang back and told her the same before promptly hanging up himself. Somehow it was my fault.

Apparently one is required to say pardon before the efff off...

It's like a free pass or something.

Either blow a whistle on down the phone or go off and make a cup of tea and leave them talking

Ask 'em to read back your serial number if they are from microsoft - line usually goes dead.

Last one I got, I asked him if he thought I had just got off the same effing banana boat that he had - end of conversation.


Graham

I like the idea of getting them to read your serial number back
