I got a call telling me that the warranty on my car was running out.

My car is 49 years old.

[Hardknock]

I got a call telling me that the warranty on my car was running out.

My car is 49 years old.

So how much did that 50 year/50,000,000 mile warranty set you back anyway?

Which if your car is a well maintained 1967 Dodge Dart with a slant 6 motor, that would have been an awsome investment.

Heck of a warranty.

Some website once offered to let me found a nation. For free, no less.

My father and I got a call from "Windows Corporate" about our computer having issues that they saw with the remote viewer...on a device that wasn't even hooked up to the internet. Both of us work with computers and they were obviously reading from a card. We messed with them for a bit before telling them exactly why they were stupid.

[Zeon Refounded]

A text message with every other word misspelled. The content was similar to this:"Hey, I heard if you call this number [they showed a number] and give them your info, they will pay off all your school loans. I did it and it works!".

I texted back:"No thanks. I'm rich."

Best thing to do in that situation, say you use Linux.

[Dharvania]

Strangly I had one Just like the OP's. A guy saying he was from the UN, and how they chose me to give 3 million dollars. So I toyed with him, saying my name was Walter White and my number was (666) 696-Fuck

Or better: actually use Linux.

[Unified Provences Of Kilo]

I once got an error from some dodgy website, saying I had downloaded malicious content in the last 2 days.
I hadn't downloaded anything in the last two days. I checked my downloads, history, everything. It said to download some thing or my device would be damaged.
Didn't download it, device is fine.

My Baba picked up the phone once for the same thing, even though she's 93 years old she quickly figured out its a scam. With her heavy russian accent she started messing with the caller. Hardcore messing. With everything from reciting communist propaganda the soviets made her learn to claiming we don't even have computers that's capitalist science. I was in the room and when she hung up I died of laughter.

[Legitimists]

I legitimately got an email from someone claiming to be a Nigerian attorney who titled himself "Barrister ... Esquire," stating that my long lost brother had died in a car accident leaving me a considerable sum of money. Needless to say he wanted me to pay a small realise fee for the cash to leave the country.....lol

[Ranko Kanzaki]

A woman once came up to me asking for money because she needed to replace her bike's flat tire -- while walking with her bike which clearly had no flat tires.

Gave her what was in my pocket anyway. *shrug*

[Manchaimao]

People running for Office and me getting round the clock calls.

I actually write my name with esquire at the end.

Sort of.

I get a call from those dipshits once a week at work, I'll string them a long for a good hour, while I do my work, you would think hearing laughter in the background in my lab would kinda be a clue I was messing with them.

Other scams I get at work are those IRS calls and those collection agencies trying to collect on discarded or written off old debts.
I'll string those dipshits along for an hour or so as well. My boss says he just doesn't have the patience to mess with those wastes of skin, so when he gets them he'll transfer them to my phone.

I get these calls a couple of times a month. Lately I've resorted to telling them that what they are doing is dishonorable and no way for real man to make a living.

Porn ads that simple

[Devon Teyson]

on the STEX I was trying to download some DLLs for my SC4 ordinances and it said that I need to disable AdBlock to download.
I got the add app MySafeSavings on my computer and no SimCity mods that day. I had to use my computer's directory to manually disable MySafeSavings by deleting its' entries, tried to delete the app ten times, etcetera. I only got it off when I restarted in the evening. Uninstalling it? I put in the captcha for the app to uninstall and it said "Did not register!" Pissed me the fuck off.
