FantasistsEddie Spunkbubble says: I used to know a sad case who fancied himself as a bit of a 007 and bragged that he always carried a loaded 9mm pistol in his attache case "just in case". Overheard by an off-duty copper, he was asked to make good on his claim. A packed lunch, red face and a stern warning "not to act the twat" and he never did it again. Tell us of Walter Mitty types.

My preferred baiting goes something like:Scammer: "Hello, this is Computer Support, we have detected you're having problems with your computer."
Me: "Which one?"
Scammer: "The one running the Windows operating system."
Me: "Which version?"
Scammer: (pause... then guess)"Windows Vista"
Me: "That one isn't connected to the internet."
Scammer: "Errrr....."

If I have no time I just say 'haven't got a computer' and they hang upIf I want to play I act dumb (which is easy for me). 'Oh that is so nice of you wanting to fix my computer', 'which button did you want me to press', 'Now, if I could just turn this on...'
