I once had a scammer call me, claiming to be from Microsoft support and trying to convince me to install a RAT. When he asked if I was using Windows or Mac, I replied "Linux." He was aghast, saying that was "illegal" and he would be reporting me for breaking the law unless I complied with his directives. Had a good laugh at that one.

I told him we didn't have a computer. That didn't register at all, he still tried to get me to install something, somehow, despite my insistence.
"Okay, let me toggle the bootloader in. Call me back in about an hour."
