Connect your Linux pc and let him try to explain how you have malware. 
Great fun if you already have teamviewer installed.

Then upload the halarious recording to the shroomery 
I think it would be fun to buy one of those kids toys, the ones where u pull the string, and it makes a farm animal noise: "The Cow goes MOOOOOO!". And just randomly pull the string when hes talking. And say, im sorry, i missed that last part - Quacck! - fun will commence.

They waste enough of my time without me wanting to give up more just to try to annoy them.
I have thought that just putting the phone down, without 'hanging up' and let them give their speil to thin air, until they realise that they are paying for a phone call to talk to a virtual brick wall.

how much cash do you think they are pulling in from this bullshit??
like a call center of complete douche fucktards that all need a swift kick to the nuts for scamming people, what you guestimate?
billions? i mean, if they get in cc information on most computers, crytovirus, how large is that industry?

They're working from very poor countries. Even if they make a sting a day that feeds and houses their family. They aren't getting rich, relatively. It's kinda sad how fucked up this world is.
They're not making money like ransomware gangs that's for sure.

Yeah, I get you. Capitalism has infected them too. Despite being Hindu they always want more now. They see the money they take as worthless to us, scraps from the kings table. Most don't realise it's the most vulnerable who fall for their trick.

well put..
still doesnt sit well with me... i would like to meet one in person... see the real truths.. it would probably take every bone in my body not to knock the mother fucker out, but there's gotta be a flip side.
like if you are smart enough in a poor country to be able to remote in and hack random peoples computers, you would think they would be able to make an honest living on the security side of the coin. but i guess with remoting you dont really have to do any loop holes... that kinda crushes that.

I bet most of them are working in digital sweat shops where they only get a much smaller percentage of the money they scam, can't even afford pc's or electricity. Much less running water.
India's waaay fucked up in urban areas.

I did that once, I let him talk me through the whole process and I just kept fucking up so he had to take it a step back and try again. What can I say, he had a charming voice and I was bored In the end I said: "Oh, now I get a popup" At this point he was beyond frustration, and I said: "Oh what do you know, its Windows Office Assistant." he was gasping for air at this point. "He says: "You are being scammed, please hang up the phone." and then immediately I did.

As much as they piss me off if their alternative was to live in shanty town
I guess they wouldn't give too much of a fuck about us 'rich westerners'.
And, you can guarantee, the developers that built the high rises in the background, are greedily eying the land those poor fuckers are occupying, and are just waiting for the bribes they've paid to the local politicians for the go ahead to plough them into the ground.

You guys should see some of the mail my grandma gets - it gets forwarded to my parents address since she moved into an assisted living place, and holy shit, I guess all it takes is having an aarp card and giving money to a few shady charities - because they get mountains of those shady ass charity mailings. Some of them have really assertive language and try to present themselves as an official political party trying to appeal to old people who hate Obama and literally demanding ridiculous sums of money. Some of them are corny church things(the whole send a penny get a penny back/send a dollar get a dollar blessed in return bullshit), but looking at some of the letters and the language used in them it's super obvious that they're blatantly trying to take advantage and prey on a very specific demographic - i.e. old people who don't know any better.
Like, even my grandma is skeptical enough to ignore most of them and is mainly getting them out of being put on mailing lists. I can't imagine the amount of money people like that take from elderly individuals who are probably living on a fixed income and really can't afford to give what they give. It literally infuriates me. I've literally sent monopoly money and a bunch of scribbled fuck you's back to one of the more rage inducing organizations just to make myself feel a little better.

What. He been caught bribing the local politicians?
Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Land developers, along with politicians, are among the most corrupt proffesions in the world, along with shyster lawyers, second hand car dealers and real estate agents.

No you misread that. I told him that the popup, the fucking annoying paperclip from windows office 2003, said to hang up and then I hung up.
I first gave him the shocker that I wasnt even on the operating system he had been talking me through for I think 20 minutes, then invoked an utterly annoying image and immediately lost him his scam, his phone money AND his rebuttal.
It was an elaborate way of saying screw you.
