I was hoping to see him turn the tables on the scammer. I wouldn't call it 'ownage".

I would have liked him to have found the scammers home address, gone round and set fire to his face. :|

This guy has way too much time on his hands.

I get these kind of calls from time to time. The conversation usually goes something like this:

Him: "There is a problem with your Windows computer"
Me: "My Windows computer?"
Him: "Yes, Windows XP, there is a problem which must be fixed immediately"
Me: "Goodness me! That's amazing. Because I'm running Linux."
Him:"............. click!"

Why do I never get calls like this???

I'd do the "dumb user" thing, that I have to deal with on a daily basis.

"I don't know what you mean by start button"
"I don't have a browser. Do you mean Google? I can go into Google."

Is that something happening in the United States of Awesome? Never heard of scams of that kind before over here.

I was getting calls like this, my steps to hopefully deafen the scammer:

* Download tone generator app on smartphone
* Receive call from scammer
* talk very quietly so they're forced to turn their headset volume right up
* Play 4kHz tone right into the mouthpiece (4kHz is pretty much the most painful sound you can make)

No more calls since...
