Caller: Yet another telstra Scam call. Kept them on for 25mins. Call from an Indian in Telstra Technical Department about errors in my internet connection.
I try to keep scammers like this on the phone as long as possible. It annoys them and prevents them scamming someone else while they are trying to scam me.
They wanted to identify my computer OS by finding out the key next to the left ctrl key. This would have been used to customise the remote hack for my OS.
So I decided to really confuse them. I told them there was a large A next to the ctrl key. They asked if it was Windows or Mac. Told them it was an amiga computer running AmigaOS 4.1 (aka as Workbench).
Of course this also meant their pre-prepared Mac/Windows speech was now worthless.
Got transferred to their supervisor. Went through the whole thing again.
He tried to get me to download some remote access software (from www.anydesk.com orwww.teamviewer.com) to help them do the remote hack my system. Told them that there were no versions of these software programs that would run on my Amiga. I could tell that this pissed them off.
At first they claimed i had corrupt files. Then they said that someone had hacked my system. Then once they realised they could not remote hack my system they stated that someone had hacked my system and was using my information too make illegal bank transfers.
Apparently instead of calling the cops they wanted me to give them my credit/debit card details. Told them I had no credit/debit card. They started to get desperate as my money was slipping through their hands.
So they told me to go to "the store" (they did not say which). Buy some steam cards then read the numbers on them. So they could use the money on the cards. Of course they would pay me back for the cost.
Told them I would not do this as they already stated to me that they knew i was not responsible for the illegal transfers. Told them they should call the cops and let them deal with it.
They stated the cops would be around tomorrow and hung up. I do not expect the cops any time soon.
Managed to keep them online for about 25 mins before they gave up. A new record for me.
