I got nothing else better to do so I like to pretend I'm doing everything they are telling me to do an then I just hang up at the end. Also I'll act really really dumb an be like i cant access whatever they want me too or my computer won't turn on which has led to some classic troll conversations that I wish I could have recorded.
Like some dude from India is really going to know if you got malware on your computer common. Only works on really old dumb people.

Every time the nicest things I say is to go die in a Malaria infested ditch. My favorite is "If you call me again ,again I will tell you that you feed your children by scamming elderly and mentally disabled people. Wake up tomorrow morning that your career is to destroy people's computers and blackmail to keep it running.

Yup. People do fall for that shit, probably 99% old people and those that don't understand computers or are gullible.
There's alot of good Youtube videos where they troll and mess around with the scum scammers

besides personal information what do you think they are after?
drop a cryptovirus on your computer then hold you hostage saying they didnt catch it in time and you gotta pay 500 bucks to get your files back?

I had it happen once while I was really baked, I could barely understand the guy either which made it even more confusing.
After trying to figure out what was going on for a little I asked to speak with someone else and I swear he was replaced by an even worse accent...
When I finally realized they were just trying to scam me I hung up 
I wish they still called me as trolling them would be a ton of fun...

Idk what op is actually talking about, but it sounds like there's potential for pranking people who call you? My favorite thing to do is make them repeat a long ass line of info without giving them time to write it down.
Example.
Ok we're almost done, i just need you full name credit card info and address.
K, my legal name is "jim jeffery of jinestown the fourth, blinded at night in winter's moon, my credit card number is 77737494727492749274849194747274747474747473785959(say this as fast as possible) and my address is springing leaping meadows of winter's morn iowa. Can you repeat that for me?
I'll see if i can upload the video i was inspired by, if it doesn't upload right lookup on youtube "tim heidecker brown town prank call". Any of his prank calls are good really.
He has one where a lady is teying to scam some bs medicine (marketed more as a new age vitamin). She's a telemarketer and he uses the fact that she cant stop trying to sell him on it to make her insanely uncomfortable. He tells her he's addicted to some opiate, hasn't gotten out of his bed or eaten in three days and all sorts of depressing shit and she has to tell him it will help with all that.
Video upload attempt: failed. I can.never upload it. I swear to god ifbyou watch it you may OD on laughter. If you know of tim heidecker it's not typical of something you might expect. His show is admittedly really fucking weird. But this is just a funny ass prank call not related to any of his tv persona.
-------------------- I'm addicted to coke, weed, booze, ludes and speed. Not LSD, you can't get addicted to LSD, it was built by scientists. I ain't got no demons that gonna get woke. In erowid we trust. Just take your damn pills and don't ask any questions, you'll be fine.

That vid does not work for me, I will look up and post the one you specified for you though:
Tim And Eric Brown Town Prank
Also I did not know tim or eric did prank calls but that makes total sense and I am excited to check some out

Once they got me to do it when I was on acid and ruined my computer. I'm usually not that gullible but I was frying and thought it was a Windows call center asking me to check out an updated website instead they remote access it and hold it for ransom.

would it be illegal if one was to tell them to eat a lead bullet and they should off themselves???
i get about 4 or 5 of these calls a day... i mean, yeah i like the plane ticket idea, to see if they would bite... but sometimes, it seems like they really feel like they are apart of the windows corp.
i am hoping this thread will come up with a great idea for when they call tomorrow... which i know they will.

How about when they call try and reverse it around onto them, something like telemarketing a fake product or religion perhaps.
Or just make things super awkward and make some shit up about having a home based sex toy operation or something and try to sell them some random stuff.
Just come up with really random things that will make them uncomfortable, maybe tell them you are a nazi or KKK member and try to recruit them.
Something scientology related could also be gold; "I don't seem to be having any issues with my computer but while I have you on the phone have you accepted L Ron Hubbord as your lord and savior? Perhaps I could schedule you for some auditing and enlighten you about the evil alien dictator Xenu."

i cant believe those are real.
ive only gotten the email scams from craigslist. always starts with some legit looking text but its from a some werid ass number.
Then they ask for personal info.
Rackem, why not block their number? or is their number always different?

Yeah, I used to get those calls on my home line all the time so I unplugged the thing. My friends all call my mobile anyway.

Its incredible, these guys hit me at least once a month. At first I was all polite but now, recently, I am honing the art of saying a single line that is so out there that THEY hang up.
Its outrageous. hey even call me out of bed sometimes because they dont even know which TIMEZONE they target.
