I just a call like that. I replied, "Oh, I thought you were calling about windows for the house. I don't have a computer. Merry Christmas!"

I don't use windows, I use doors.

I did that one time.
Never doing what he suggested though.
Eventually he asked "What do you see on your computer?"
I replied "It's an article about how people call and try to get into your computer."
He hung up......

If they ask for me by name, I say the family is away, and I'm watching the house for them.
There is a guy on YouTube who pranks telemarketers.

I do the same, occasionally. I especially like messing with the one that calls about donating to the police fund. I ask them a lot of questions about where the money goes and never get a straight answer. At the end I tell them that there is a police officer who lives across the street and that if I give him money then I know 100% of my money goes to the police. I don't think I'm very popular with those people.
I do, however, donate money to the police by sending it with the police officer friend of my neighbor. 100% donated to the police!!!

There are several and are really fun to watch. There is one in particular who gets into their computers and deletes all their files.

I have done that as well... keep stringing them along sounding really dumb. After a while I mention I don't have a windows computer, I have a Mac. He stutters a bit then backtracks and says they work on macs too. That's when I hang up!!!

There are enough billionaires to do my donating for me.

My Dad gets these calls and knows whats going on, but here is how it plays out....
The guy on the phone: turn on your computer.
Dad: OK, it will take a minute or so...
The guy on the phone: I don't see your computer yet, is it on?
Dad: yes it's on.
The guy on the phone: Try rebooting your internet
Dad: Ahhhh.... internet?
The guy on the phone: It's how you get online and look at your email etc.
Dad: Oh...I'm not hooked up to the internet
The guy on the phone:....Click!
