Me: Hello?

Guy: Hello. This call is in regards to... a computer. Okay?

Me: ...okay, then.

Guy: This is a call about a computer. Am I right in thinking that you are the main person in charge of this computer?

Me: You're going to have to tell me which computer this is.

Guy: The "Windows" computer. The computer that runs the "Windows" operating system.

Me: I'm afraid we've got quite a few of those around here! You'll need to be more specific.

Guy: Well. I am calling to tell you that this "Windows" computer has downloaded a virus, bad software, that is damaging your computer. And that you need to get it off there.

Me: *waiting in silence*

Guy: Ma'am? Ma'am? Can we help you fix your -

Me: I am an IT person, and this is a law office. Please do not try to scam the law office IT person. It's not smart.

Guy: *laughs* Okay, then. Sorry, ma'am.

"Sorry I wasted your time with my con, I'll just call someone else! You have a great day, now."
