I am constantly getting emails from outfits in China pitching mold
making services. Probably because prototype and design are part of my
business name. Anyway, got one today in fine Chinglish, asking if I
need any mould.

I replied, "I just checked my refrigerator, and I have plenty of
mould, thank you for asking"

I'll be that has them scratching their heads for a bit... lol

I like to reply to the ones asking for my bank account details, I reply
with dud information and sit back and think of the hours they'll spend
trying to get into that account. I'm sure if about 10,000 people did that
every week their business model would be destroyed, it would take
longer and longer to enter the fake info each week with no return.

We've also had a spate of phone calls from "Microsoft customer service"
offering to fix up our PCs. If I have half an hour to spare I like to
string
them along asking them how to make my Win95 work faster.

A friend liked to pretend he had been shot and pleading for help, until
the police turned up!! At least one phone spammer with a conscience.
I had a "Microsoft" techy call up and ask if I had problems with my
computer running slow etc and I said no, it went quite for a moment and
he thanked me and rang off . I expect it went quite as he didn't have
that reply in his script and I run Linux anyway.
We currently have an investigation into this phone spammer calling
numbers on yhe "do not call list". I have had 3 followup calls so far.
