So, a lot of us have gotten the call where someone with an obvious accent claims to work for Microsoft and tells you there's something wrong with your computer. At first I just ignored the calls, but lately they've been using local mobile numbers, and as I'm searching for a job you really don't want to ignore potential employers. I then decided to have some fun, and the last few calls have resulted in me releasing my inner troll. As I suspect they will continue to call me I'm interested in ideas for more trolling. Give suggestions or examples from your own experience! When I got the call earlier today I pretended to believe them and acted distressed, I then told them I had 97 updates on my computer and that he had to wait. He filled the time with asking different kind of questions, to which I responded as stupidly as I possibly could. "What kind of computer do you have?" "I have a Mac" "A Mac? Why did you not tell me this?!" "Oh, does it matter? Isn't Mac and Windows basically the same thing?" "Yes... of course" I continued to waste his time while counting down the "updates". When it was almost done I got this question: "What is your occupation?" "Oh, I work as an IT-analyst at the Swedish Police. I have just forwarded your location and information to your local police" And that was the end of that call!

I dunno, pretending to be drunk and Russian?
Try talking bullshit out loud, in a drunk tone, asking where did your vodka go every now and then... maybe end up telling him you have Windows 95 and that all imperialist things are the same to you?
Oh, and praise Stalin. If the guy lasts until the end of the call, he's got the patience of a motherfucking saint.
Currently out of ideas. Some other time, you could test if they know what a gunshot sounds like. Get a gas-powered airsoft replica, when the call starts, load it, and shoot it in a safe direction. If he asks what it was, just tell him "Oh, just gunshots, nothing to worry."
...I know, my trolling sucks, but what can I do?

Not trolling per say, but my grandfather eons ago used a train-whistle against the pesky telemarketers. Blew it right up against the phone.

"Hello, we are calling from Microsoft..." "Hello, yes. My name is Mary. I'm with Microsoft Security. How may I help you?" "We have detected a problem with your Windows computer..." "Yes. We have detected a problem with your Windows computer. And your Android phone. Also your brother has a serious illness."

I'm not quit witted enough to be able to come up with a witty response to these folks.
But I know they are a scammer right from the get-go.
If I ever do get a call in the future, I plan on actually asking them how they know the computer has a virus, what program is telling them that, ect. But they haven't called my house in a while.

Alright, new idea - for the times when I'm not up to a lengthy session of trolling I can say "Wait, just hold on a moment..." and then play: Can you even rickroll someone on the phone?

I also have this idea where I pretend to have already tried contacting Microsoft for a crashed computer, so when they call I start to aggressively berate them for taking so long responding and then demand that they help me with my "blue screen of death". Can you imagine them having to actually try "helping" me because otherwise I can't download their virus?

So far, between home and grandma, my family has gotten these scams left on the phone:
With Microsoft Sam as the caller....
-You are being arrested. -We are the IRS. -Debt Collectors for Credit Cards even though we dont have any. -X person is in jail and needs bail money. -Does X live here? We need personal info. -X is in the Hospital, give us money.

What I've always wanted to do, and my husband has done is: "So what are you wearing?" "Is it pink? Pink is soo hot" "What are you wearing on your feet? Would you mind taking them off for me?" {He actually said all that. To a guy. At least one man in Mumbai is totally convinced Americans are pervs. }

My brother gets those calls all the time and trolls them back. The best one he did recently went something like this:
Brother: Hello? Call: Hello. We are calling because we have detected something wrong with your PC. Brother: My PC? Oh no what do I do? Call: It's ok. We're here to help. Just follow our instructions and we'll fix your computer in no time. Brother: Ok, what's the first step? Call: Turn on your computer, go to your settings and open up firewall. Brother: Ok, my computer's on. Ok I'm now I'm opening my program settings. I've clicked on the firewall thing and I got my dick out. Now what? Call: Ok, now you....wait I didn't get that last part. Brother: I'm in firewall settings and I have my dick out. What's next? *click*
It was something along those lines but it was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing the whole time he was doing it.

Yeah, I got one of those last year. Told the guy I use a Linux box. He had no idea what that was so I just sighed and hung up. It's not fun if they're ignorant.

If you're a good enough programmer...
They're about getting a backdoor to steal your private info, right?
Get a spare PC. Program a virus. Anything connects to the PC, it gets fucked so thoroughly it will seem like a gangbang.
Then follow their steps. If they notice something's off, tell them to enjoy it.
Yes. It's that time, and you can't track them down for a nice, painful time.

Wow, I've heard a lot about you guys getting such calls in the US, we don't get that in Europe really, at least not in Denmark. Mostly just annoying salespeople and those are very easy to handle, I just ask them for their home number and if I can call them back later there and if they refuse, i usually say "well then you know why I don't want to be bothered at home" or something like that" depending on their reply, I got that from Seinfeld LOL, it's a really good way to get rid of them.

I live in Sweden, so I doubt you don't get these in Denmark as well. What I've noticed is that some people (like me) tend to get a lot while other people never get a single call. My guess is that someone got hold of my number and has now sold it to a bunch of shady businesses. I just got the infamous call from Somalia yesterday, but I decided I wasn't in the mood for any trolling.

Ahhh Sweden, I didn't know that.. well I haven't encountered any yet but I guess I'm just lucky then or perhaps they're more common in Sweden than in Denmark. It sounds really uncomfortable though, I'm sorry you have to go through that I know if it was me that I would have been really annoyed and upset.

Eh. My usual thing is go full no comprende.
On street sales people. Seriously, I don't speak your language, pal! (And if they try broken english, angry "Don't think you got the memo" usually does the trick.)
Of course, it helps that I'm perfectly fluent, with an accent. Heh. Otherwise, I'd be doing precious little of it.
