A guy called my dad and said he’d won a million dollars in a contest! All that was needed was to advance $1,000 to cover fees
My dad told the guy he would happily split the winnings, $500K each, if the guy paid the fees for him
The guy hung up

@neilk I remember once getting into an argument with a guy calling about my Windows machine. I legitimately only had a Linux laptop. He called me a liar, and insisted I did, indeed have a Windows machine. I hung up on him.
