I act all stupidly concerned and tell them how neat it is that my computer contacted them. Then I ask them if they can tell me which computer it is as I have several. Of course they can't tell me. Then say I some old computer and some newer ones and can they tell me what operating system the computer that contacted them is running, XP, Win7, Win8, win10 etc..When they can't tell me I ask about how lthey know it was my computer if they can't tell me anything about it. etc etc. If the do offer any information I tell them I have all Apple computers. Basically I string them along as long as possible making them think I am going to hire their services to clean up my computers and try to get them to admit to as many facts about my network as I can to throw it back at them. One of these days if I have time when they call I will see If I can get them to remote into an extra Mac Mini I have with it in a DMZ and see what they do.

That may sound funny but Cox Business called me that one of the computers on my network had a specific windows virus and if I didn't do something about it they would turn off my router. Asked them questions about the IP address etc. and then told them all I had was Macs and couldnt possibly be spreading a windows virus. The excused themselves for a few minutes, then came back and appologized. He said they were using a new security monitoring company and evidently they had hired the wrong company and put on my account that I have all macs so I won't be bothered again.
