I've become stupidly addicted to Granny Edna. She's mesmerising.

Did you know that viruses are called Ben and actually talk to you?

We had a fake tech support call once. An Indian woman called us saying there was a wirus detected on our computer. My sister hung up on her. Immediately she called back, asking why my sister hung up on her.

While hanging up might be the safest response, why not have a little fun with them first? Never give them access to your devices, but let them think you are! Pretend you're technologically illiterate and spend ages pretending you're trying to switch on your PC, only to realise you didn't plug it in. Then pretend you're having a hard time understanding the instructions.

Like this guy:

You know, I don't get the Nigerian Prince emails anymore, although I did get a couple of messages on sharelingual. Sadly they don't reply to them, they'd get rumbled pretty quickly, I guess.

But I'm tempted to set up a dummy email just to have some fun. Will it be gold bullion or rough diamonds, I wonder?

I should probably give it a good think. I'll just wait a moment...

Oh no wait, I need to disconnect the call first.
