A supposed "Windows Technical Service Engineer" called to tell me that they had identified my computer. When I asked how they could tell it was _my_ computer, out of the hundreds of millions of computers, she insisted that "EVERY computer" on the planet is connected to Micro$oft. _*EVERY*_ computer. Even Chromebooks, UNIX systems, IBM mainframes, PLCs, the engine control module in my car,...etc. Kinda a dead giveaway, doncha think?
Led the stupid clueless imbecile on for ten minutes or so, playing along, just to see how stupid she really was.
Answer: pretty stupid.
Finally got tired of playing "phish-the-scammer" and let her off the hook.
Needless to say, 949-281-1221 is now well and truly blocked.
