My parents fell for the Indian tech support scam (It was awhile ago) but, since then, it's been "fuck you" and hung up.

I experienced the good old "your computer has a virus" scam, that requests to open the Windows Event Viewer, thereby point out all the Inconsistencies with the PC In question.
This was probably around 8 months ago, and I hammered them with technicalities to the point of them hanging up 40 minutes later. I enjoyed every minute of the conversation. Evidently, they didn't.

Prior to terminating the call, he asked "where do you work?".
I replied "at a place that makes someone like me a nightmare for someone like you".

Good to read.
Always be on the assumption you're susceptible to exploitation, take extra precautionary measures and trust no one.
