Pranking the phisher.
Yesterday I received one of those fake Microsoft calls. I decided to have a little fun.
Phisher: Hello Sir, it's ImpossibleToUnderstandName from Microsoft. We noticed that you accidentally downloaded a suspicious file and would like to help you recover your pc. Is that OK?
Me (being on a Macbook): Sure.
Phisher: Ok, Sir, please can you tell me what you see on your screen sir?
Me: I see a videocall.
Phisher: Ok, Sir, can you please minimize this and go back to your normal screen sir?
Me: Done.
Phisher: OK, Sir, before we continue, can you please tell me what you mainly use this computer for?
Me: Sure. I mainly use it to surf to gay porn.
Phisher: ...
Phisher: Are you kidding me sir?
Me: No sir, I'm dead serious. I mainly use this computer to surf to gay porn.
Phisher: *click*
Don't think I'll be hearing them back again soon.
Disclaimer: I'm in IT since 20 years, so I knew what I was doing and would never blindly do what anyone tells me to do.
Disclaimer 2: To each his own, but I'd never watch gay porn. I just judged from his accent this would be offending to him.
