Scam Alert !

[mikey4444]

I have just been called by a foreign sounding chap, from 02031 988108, who was pretending to be from the "Microsoft Technical Dept"

I told him that, no he wasn't...he was just a scamming ****, and to **** off.

Does anybody think I was being too harsh ?

I don't get any unwanted calls now as I have a call blocker phone. I miss the Microsoft ones. They used to be so much fun.

I had one after Windows..... "Oh I am delighted to hear that, we have plenty of Windows here and a lot of problems in opening and shutting them. I really am pleased - there are 56 of them that need cleaning. Should we say £4 an hour and a jugged rabbit and half of scrumpy cider for lunch? By the way, we brew our cider the old-fashioned way with a rat in the mix."

It's not just OFCOM who are ineffective - I can think of any of these so-called watchdogs who not a disappointment.

I rang you
