Did you asked which of the 100 computers you manage needs the licence
renewed? ;-)


I actually got one of them to hang up on me with that question instead
of me hanging up on them.

I've never gotten a call about a license, but I've gotten other calls
from "MS". Sometimes I ask if their mother knows what they do for
money". (I don't use the word "earn".) One guy spent more than 5
minutes with me arguing that he wasn't a thief.


You must have lots of time to waste. I just hang up on spammers and
scammers as quickly as possible.

Many people consider it service. The longer you can string them along the
less time they can spend scamming the vulnerable.
