may have to buy new computer

wilson ind · Jan 2, 2015

Got a call from Texas that my computer was
infected and they could help. Did not listen to it
all. I said If its infected I will buy a new one
and start over before dealing with the likes of
you. Guess I should get pictures backed up. rest
could do without fine. Thing that is aggravating
This is the first time I have ever found anyone
west of the Missouri River that seemed cooked to
me. I like the west!!!!!!!!!! Especially western
Montana!!

I got a call from someone with an east Asian accent- first he asked if I had a computer, and when I said I did, he launched into the pitch about how it was infected, big emergency, click on this, etc. Kind of took the urgency out of it, when he had to first ask if I even had one. . .

I laughed and said he needed to work on his story a bit, then hung up.

I got a call for some dude in India about a month ago.. He had called 5 or 6 times over the month, and every time someone answered he was looking for "BARRY FRAZIER" (dad).

And we would just hang up!

So, I was about tired of this bs, and I answered the phone, and sure enough it was this guy. I asked if I could help him (already knowing what he was going to say) and sure enough, he says, "Need speak with Barry Frazier"

Well, I proceeded to break out into tears and just start whimpering away to this guy on the phone that he had been killed in a car crash a few days before, and that he was the best dad ever, and how I didn't feel like living with out him, etc.

REALLY messed him up!

SWMBO got that call a few days ago. She laughed and told them we don't have a computer. Then heard sound of phone hanging up.

Bill,
I recently dropped my landline that I've had since 1977. I was getting nuisance calls. Don't miss it at all. You can pay a little more and get verizon internet and not have a landline. If someone calls my cell and I don't have them in my cell phone book, I don't answer.

Our dear old Aunt Suzie [wheel-chair bound, a wonderful nice old gal] used to start in "OH I'm SOOO glad you called, Ah have just been BESIDE mahself here, it is so GOOD to have someone anyone to talk with here, the cats have been acting up ALL MORNING, and they tipped over ............"
and off she'd go, off into the ozone, non-stop...for as long as they'd hang on.

A friend used to get calls like that for his mother, Viola. (Who didn't live with him.)

On day, instead of saying "no, she isn't here", he said with a quavering voice "she died last week"!

Didn't faze the huckster on the phone one bit... "well, Mr. Keller, now that your WIFE is dead, you will need a new vacuum more than ever"!

I asked the foreign speaking gal where she was located (I always ask them that), and she said St. Louis, Illinois. I said WHERE? She stuttered and hung up on me!
