I get this every single week on a Friday. I am convinced I am being used to 
train their new staff.

If you get bored ask them if they can see the Ling Liang school out of their 
office window. At this point the Supervisor, who you will be talking to if you 
keep them on for over ten minutes will panic and hang up.

To see their office do a google maps search for Black Burn Lane Kolkata. They 
are in the office block on the corner of Suniyat St Ln.

While I know it is a scam (they are trying to get Windows users to sign up for 
support), I now have a soft spot for them as they keep calling.

Normally the call is over in under ten minutes. If you get lucky (play them a 
Windows start up tune helps) and you move up the levels you can get them to 
stay on for longer.

Not that I am keeping a score with myself or anything so childish, but one 
lunchtime I managed to get 54 minutes before they gave up in frustration 
because my imaginary Windows machine did not do anything on their website.

Oddly today they did not call. Should I be hurt?
