I don't know how many of you might have received this phone call but, really guy, why would I think that Microsoft was calling me by name?

I spoke to a Mr. Fred Rodriguez who, when asked for things like his return phone number and Microsoft employee number, was very slow to respond. I never did get his MS ID. Mr. Rodriguez also had a remarkably East Indian sounding accent, for someone with a Spanish name whose phone number had a Houston, TX area code.

This is the first time that I've gotten one, but then again I'm not usually home during the work week. I must admit that the amount of dead air, when I asked for certain types of identification, was rather amusing.

I try to act like I do not know what I am doing on the computer and string them along as long as I can, 20 minutes is my record.
I was about to tell them, please hold...Originally Posted by backmarkerducati

In the past, with other calls, I've said that I'll just go check on something and then left the phone off the hook, for an hour. Not sure how long they hang on for.

That was so funny. I have to practice that and how the next time I talk to a telemarketer they haven't heard it before.

You can also try and turn the call into a phone sex call. Press the Start Button....What are you wearing...
I finally feel wanted! I got the call tonight.
There are some thing's better left unsaid, but you can bet your sweet a** I'm going to say them anyway.

I used to frequently get the Telus scam calls... they were the highlight of my day too until one ended in a screaming match with me telling the guy off. I hung up smiling and now they just won't call back.
