[Scene: My living room. Phone rings. I’m bored so I answer it.]
Scammer: I’m calling from Microsoft Windows to tell you that your computer is infected with malware.
Me: How terrible!
Scammer: Yes sir.
Me: I mean, how could this happen?
Scammer: Well, sir, I’m here to help you repair it. Now, please go to your keyboard…
Me: No, I mean, after all these years, how could people still fall for your bullshit? No wonder they elected Trump.

Thanks I needed that. Happy St. Patty’s Day
I start laughing when they call.
Occasionally I simply put the phone down on the counter and walk away. Beep beep beep beep . . . .
