Another great one is about a year ago I received a scam call from an Indian sounding male. He told me that my computer had a bad virus and he needed to clear it up. He was identifying himself as a representative from Microsoft. Ultimately what he was trying to do was remote access my computer to hack into it. Well I baited this idiot along and when he asked me if I was close to my computer I told him I was. He advised me to turn it on. I waited a minute then replied "Oh no I can't even power on the computer, you were right it's broken". The caller then dropped several "F" bombs at me and hung up. I nearly pissed myself laughing so hard.......

The purchase is not from Amazon. It was an ebay purchase. The return address on the shipping label is an Amazon address.

Filed a request with Ebay and received a full refund.

Sorry; forgot to follow up. I really may have been just a mistaken shipment. I was surprised when I looked at the feedback that several others had received the same merchandise instead of what they ordered.

Good deal you got your money back to go buy something local and tangible.
