This would be perfect for the "This is Microsoft Windows calling" scams.
You know the one - a dude with a very thick Indian accent who wants you to install some program to "fix" your PC.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoEven better, rather than an AI you outsource the talking to someone who has nothing better to do with their time and a mobile phone. Pay them a graduated scale depending on how long they kept the caller on the phone.
- dave2000 11y agoI used to pass the phone to my daughter and told her to mimic his accent, ask silly questions like "where's my pizza" etc. It's the little things that make life worthwhile, isn't it?
- wstrange 11y agoThese scammers called my 88 year old father, and managed to talk him in to attempting to install some malware. He isn't terribly computer literate, and Windows confuses the heck out of him (switched him to Chromebooks - so much better, but I digress). Anyhow, after spending almost an hour with him, they hung up in frustration - as he could not follow their directions to get the malware installed. So Windows is secure after all.
