One of the companies I deal with in regards to anti-malware software played with one of the 'Microsoft tech' scammers.

"Madame Besties, high class escorts.... 'til the morgue people come pick her up the dead girl is just half price."

It's one the ex and I used on the answering machine in a bid to put off sales people, trouble was, it attracted a couple of sickos who rang back for a price on the 'dead girl'

Another one was: "Christies Civil Ceremonies, sorry I can't come to the phone right now, but a shotgun wedding ended in tragedy when the groom said I can't... please leave your name and number and I'll return your call as soon as the police are done and bodies have been removed."

Had a company call me and they said that they handled the warranty on my printer. Then they asked me what the make and model was. *click*

Hehe... Commando's Taxidermy, computer support fraudsters are the in-thing these days as far as stuffed animals go, and one would look great above the mantle in any home. Leave your name and number, or address even better, and I'll be in touch ASAP.

What, you didn't tell them it was a Russian made Cutabollokoff and it was completely broken?
