We've all seen the articles about supposed "support calls" from "Windows Support." This article goes into a bit of humor as to what some people do when they know what is going on and they like to have fun with the scammers. Worth a good laugh. October | 2012 | Ars Technica

    My 63 year old parents run a business that's closing this year finally. Anyway I was asked last year to help fix their computers and networking issues. The OSes on the 3 computers were windows 98 and 2000... I told them either buy new computers or throw them in the trash. I wish they had been scamming me .icon_rolleyes.gif
