Vince, you posted this because? Its apparently a prank that has had 25,000+ people click on it. I hope this doesn't Spam my computer. I'd recommend removing it.

I've removed the link mate...my apologies.
This was sent to me via Facebook and when I looked at it, it didn't have anything about being SPAM or being OWNED...which is why I posted it here.

Elvis,
That's funny! I strung one of their "techs" (and manager!) along for something like 15-30 minutes. I figure the longer they are on the call with me the more money they waste...
I do software development for a living so know a thing or two about computers, but it was a lot of fun to play dumb. The first guy got so aggravated he put on his supervisor (who spoke better English). I strung him along too!
I don't think they've called back since.

Oooh. Nice one!
I have a coworker who acts all nice and friendly to them. He keeps asking why they just can't come to his house. He offers to grill them a nice juicy steak and give them a nice cold beer!
They get highly offended and tell him.
"You are a vrude man! A bery, bery vrude man!"
And then hang-up.

I got called a man whose mother was unwed and the offspring of a female dog when I stopped the firs guy and asked to speak to the manager. I then told the manager that it was funny that my computer alerted them to a problem with my Windows operating system because my computer runs on Linux. He kept repeating the names over and over. When he was done he hung up without so much as a "have a nice day" or anything.
I love doing that to them.
