Will they never learn? (Scammers - the eternal optimists)
Got a phone call today. After several "hello" I got a very thin voice at the other end, asking me (with a really thick Indian accent) how I am today. I could not understand most of what he said, the line was so bad. First I thought he was hustling for some charity. But no. Eventually he got around to telling me that he was calling from the technical department of Estark. "sorry, who?" "Estark". "I don't know anyone Estark" .. "it's about your internet connection!" "Ah, now I know what this is all about" - click, hung up on him.
It was only 5 minutes later when talking to my wife about it that it dawned on me that the 'gentleman' (and I use the term in the loosest sense) tried to con me into believing that he works for Spark ...
Seriously! {shakes head} Do they really expect that anyone in this country hasn't heard about their little enterprise yet?
It would help their case if they at least a) could pronounce the name of the ISP and b) actually pretend to be from the correct ISP that supplies me with internet - not that they have any way of finding that info easily.
Almost feel sorry for them. But, not really.
