Yep, I had a nice conversation with that guy. He kept talking about my laptop having a dangerous virus. Which is really funny as I don't have a laptop. I do have a tablet pc but that used Android. :D This yoke I post on is a MS but when he started talking about a problem with my Google Chrome I had to muffle the phone to laugh, I use an old browser, so old that no one makes viruses for it.

I kept him on the line for about 15 minutes and he did the hanging up. It didn't cost me anything so I just played with him.

I thought I should feel a bit bad about that but decided, nah.

Oh yeah, he got my name wrong as well.
