[quote=Anonymous]I have done similar to 15:22.  Once I got called via my cell phone at work, saying that my home computer had a "wye-RUSS" (virus).  I used my theatre training (I work for a production company) and immediately went into "panicked/edgy crying helpless woman" - profusely apologizing, asking inane questions and making my fake service rep repeat just about every line he gave me.

I spent about 10 minutes, alternately "crying" and becoming overcome with emotion and then getting frustrated at being unable to execute basic commands ("my screen is blank") and claiming trouble with my mouse, my hand, my keyboard. By this time, I had my co-workers gathered 'round and laughing and holding up cue cards daring me to say or do something crazy. The guy was patient, but I was getting tired.  I told him I had to try my laptop that was in my home office and asked him if he could call me back at my private number (which was really the local police station). Had to get back to work and I have no idea if he called the police or not.[/quote]
