Interesting way of contradicting what I just said. I’m my experience they’d hang up on me. And then everyone else would laugh at me.

 

Reread what he wrote, he wasn't contradicting you.  He used a double negative, that he "has not had one not hang up", i.e., they all hung up.

I use to get those about once a month...on a 2001 that I bought used.

 

I finally had enough, and the next time they called, I went to a live person and set off my pocket air-horn in their ear...that was January - haven't heard from them since.

I get them at least once a week and I haven't had a car with a warranty for 15 years or more. They call everyone with that one, so some people must fall for it.

 

The phone companies have the technology to stop this but they won't.

I got the Microsoft scam a long time ago. I heard the Indian accent and hung up.

 

scammer: “Hello, I’m calling Microsoft to tell you there is a problem with your computer..

 

ib: immediately hangs up

 

scammer immediately calls back. “Hello, yada yada yada, ... problem with your computer.”

 

ib: “No there is not a problem,” and ib hangs up again.

 

scammer calls back a third ? time and says, “Wait, I’m calling from Microsoft and we discovered there really  is a problem. Give me a chance to explain.”

 

ib: “No the isn’t a problem with my pc.”

 

scammer: “Really? How do you know?”

ib: “Because I effing work for Microsoft, you effing mother effer.”

 

scammer actually makes a final response: “Oh.” And proceeds to hang up with his tail between his legs. 
 

True story. I normally don’t like to curse but this case, I let it out and let him have it. The best part was when he said, “Oh,” and actually hung up.
