“My Name is Davey Jones and I’m Calling From Windows Operating System”

37 Comments

Davey Jones: (with an Indian accent so thick, I could barely understand him) Is this Ms. Hill?

Me: (with my usual response) No I’m sorry, she’s not here right now. Can I take a message?

DJ: Are you a family member?

Me: Yes.

DJ: My name is Davey Jones and I’m calling from Windows operating system about your computer.

Me: I don’t have a computer.

DJ: Oh… well maybe you have a laptop?

Me: (looking at two laptops on the table) I don’t have a laptop either.

DJ: Oh… well maybe you have a PC?

Me: I don’t have a computer at all.

DJ: How old are you?

Me: That’s none of your business.

DJ: Are you a virgin?

Me: (hangs up, laughs out loud)

The phone number he called from is 607-723-1168. If you see this number on your call display, and you’re speaking to Davey Jones, please please please! tell him to fuck off on my behalf.

Thank you.

    I had a call once from someone saying they were from Windows and were concerned about a possible security breach on my computer. At his insistence that Microsoft “cared,” I burst out laughing and told him that’s how I knew he had to be a scam 🙂 I didn’t stay on the line long enough to get asked if I was a virgin 😉

    I get this call and similar ones pretty much all the time! It’s absolutely ridiculous. I used to promptly tell them that Windows Operating System is not a company. And of course they’d tell me it is. I would then go into a spiel about Microsoft – a long spiel I have to admit. But it usually made them hang up on me instead of the other way around. Which I always got a laugh out of.

    Wow, that is funny. I’ve gotten calls from these guys (not Davey Jones) and I usually let them go on for a while until they get mad and hang up. They are very persistent though and you will probably get another call from them. Of the calls that I have gotten none of them asked me how old I was, but I will gladly pass on your message should Davey contact me.

    Wow. That’s funny and that guy needs a medal of patheticness. Mostly so we can identify him on sight.

    From the look of it you’ll have another shot at Mr. Jones. Ask if he anyone’s gone down on his locker? Get it? Heh. I funny. I really want to abuse these calls in the future. Had one for a free cruise and realized I was getting screwed.

      At least the cruise call people didn’t have to ask you if you were a virgin afterwards. Get it? HA!
      I just went there and copy/pasted my blog entry in the comments. Thanks, Paul. 😀
