I dont think people who are computer/technology savy have to worry about these scams like this, i just worry for older people. But i dont feel sorry for people MY AGE who fall for this shit :lol: we grew up with technology, people in their 20's and 30's shouldnt be ignorant to this stuff.

I did this to one of those "Microsoft" scammers. I could have easily kept it going but I got bored too quick.
Going through deleting inactive accounts of mine as a security precaution. No hard feelings, but admins, if it is possible to delete this account, please do so. Thanks in advance!

Scams can be detected with a tad of common sense.

Concerning "Have you accepted Jesus?": True story, I was once gently rear ended at a red light, maybe three or four years ago. Zero damage to either car, and the impact was a light "thud". I turn on my hazard lights, step out of my car as the guy who hit me gets out of his car and apologizes. Right after his apology he said something close to "I'm glad you are okay. But are you okay with Jesus?".

I would not be surprised if the guy goes around town bumping people to see if they are Christians are not.

The world is full of weirdos.

Never had that happen to me thankfully. I think I got 1 of those scam callers at my work though.

Scambaiting is hilarious! 419eater is an amusing website for the Nigerian scams.

Haha! That reminds me of a guy that used to come into BestBuy passing around buisness cards for his church and asking people about Jesus. Nobody wanted to ask him to leave, until my manager (a hardcore atheist) marched up to him and told him to GTFO. He refused, so she took out her cell to call the cops. Dude went storming out screaming that we were all going to hell.

Good times...
