Where do they get these call representatives from? Are they getting ruder?

OMG! Scammers who were posing as the AT&T company called and said there was a person trying to hack into my computer. I kept asking questions about which computer (I mean he should know if they are legit) and he had a heavy accent so I couldn't really understand him. I told him what if I counter hacked the person who was hacking me and I also said that maybe they don't have their own network system so they need to use mine to go shopping or something. Finally, he said I was wasting his time and hung up on me. Wasn't that rude? :0(

    It can be fun to pretend to be gullible and see how far you can string them along, keeping them in "professional mode", before they lose all patience with you.
