I got one of those and was so moved. Sitting here at my Mac, it was fun.

I sounded interested and earnest and asked what I should do. He said to
press the ctrl key (he spelled it out). I said I don't have one. We went around
that bush a few times. Then he tried to have me press the "windows" key.
Again, I don't have one. He changed tack and asked if I was on the internet.
Yes. Which browser are you using? IE, Firefox, or Chrome? "No" (Safari…).

He decided to buck me up to a supervisor. We went around the mulberry
bush a few more times when I grew weary of it. I noted that I spotted the
scam when I answered the phone, for which I got called "You bastard".
My response was "I made you say 'Fuck You' first. I win".

Cheap laughs.

yours,
Michael
