  1. Got today my first scammer on my company phone. They spoofed a local phone number (probably a SIP gate) and called probably from India, as the caller had an Indian accent and spoke English. They said they were from Microsoft and my computer had a "problem". I didn't hesitate very long and hung up. It'd be funny to waste their time but it's also my time too that would have been wasted.

    1. @adiwan I've tried messing with a few scammers/spammers in the past, but I seem to be no good at it. They never reply to my responses, I must be too obvious.

      1. @scribus I’ve been known to subtly waste a phone scammer’s time at my place of work, to the point that some of them, if I pick up and they recognize my voice, they’ll immediately hang up.
