>Hello this is Ranjesh, your icloud account has been hackermanned. If you want to secure your files please give us your social security number. Ok thank you
It's a huge fucking industry in India, which is why the Indian government does nothing to get rid of these companies. They pretend to, but they don't.

>Ello? I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
>Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
>There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
Is there a way to genocide an entire country over the phone?
please do the needful
Society doesn't live by your made-up rules, user.
I randomly get calls that I never answer.
If someone calls who is not in your contacts, just a number calling, why are you answering. They'll leave a message if its legit.
I never use to get these calls, it started after my cell carrier got bought by att. They sell your number and info.
>Jim
I got a David Copperfield
Gold.
Btw, how do I remove Linux Genuine Advantage?
>having a SIM card
Literally kys
You wouldn't have this problem if you were too socially anxious to answer the phone.
For me, it's always some random number from Missouri, Iowa, or Maryland. They don't do tech support scams where I live, on the phone it's either some credit card scam, a "car warranty" scam, or some healthcare scam (and the healthcare ones are always in Spanish.)
It's always a fucking poo in New Delhi named "dave" or if a girl "mary"
I have a company phone where i have to answer and can't just tell them fuck you after 1 seconds because unfortunately we have some poos in the company.
That sucks, at work I've only got a weird computer generated chinese (probably) voice mails that just appear without any missed calls. It was odd.
This but unironically.
