Fail Attempt at Prank? Call

[SeQuel]

I got a cool story bro here for you guys.

- Some Asian dude phones me claiming he's from "Windows 7 Company" and not Microsoft and caller ID said Unknown Name (anyone want the number?)
- Says I have a virus on my computer that is sending them viruses.
- I clearly told him multiple times I have no virus on my computer and I'm not computer illiterate.
- Playing World of Tanks at the moment the bastard gets my killed.
- Tells me to start my computer and go to "important files" but didn't tell me which ones
- Kept telling him I don't need his help and to bug someone else.
- Finally gets the point and hangs up.

Five minutes later

- New Asian guy phones me
- Told them if they phone my 1 more time ima call the police and I don't want/need his help
- He asks why and proceeded to say "I call" "I call"
- Hangs up


They need to go back to their drawing board. >.>

It's not a prank call, more like a scam call.

We have tons of those in Taiwan, and I mean like I get one of those scam calls at least once a day on a daily basis. (Back in Taiwan)

They're mainly from Mainland China, and sometimes they'll call the users to tell them how to operate ATMs in English (In which most Taiwanese did not have knowledge about) and scam them for their money. (There are more types of scams other than this one)

With all the advertisements and warnings from nonprofit groups and government, people are aware of the scams and won't easily fall for such stupidity anymore.

I guess those scammers haven't got the people proficient enough in English to scam you guys in America.
