Best is to ignore these call, but I got three in two days so I decided to waste his time. I called the number and because I know absolutely nothing about computers followed his instructions very, very slowly. When we got to Teamviewer, which is a program that would give him access to my computer I said to the side, "Can you wait a moment?" and told him to hold on. I then played several games of Plants vs. Zombies while he waited. When he finally asked if I was there I told him that I was and then (because I know nothing about computers) tried to get back to Teamviewer (gee - I kept typing Teemviewer). He was getting rather impatient with my fumbling around. Once he finally got me back to the website I told him that I was getting hungry and was going to get a sandwich. Right now he is waiting for me to get back and I have taken about 40 minutes of his time. How long will he wait before he gives up on me? Hard to say, but at least that has been 40 minutes taken from his ability to scam someone else. (FWIW, I got my first computer in 1981 and worked as a programmer for 25 years.)
