We are plagued by Indian call centres, pretending to be Microsoft, offering to cure our computer problems for ridiculous amounts of money. Putting the phone down or shouting at them does not solve the problem they keep on calling - until now...

I went online and asked for the most obscene insult that anybody could offer another Indian - now I have it and it works!! (My sincere apologies for any Indian who logs on to this website).

Just say SABSE BURA APMAN in a Peter Sellers accent and the phone is slammed down instantly and I have not heard from them in a long time! Write it down and keep it by the phone.

I do not know what it means and do not intend to find out..... I think that my ears are too delicate...

I just googled that and it translated to "Worst Humiliation" in Hindi. Don't know if that's correct, but it doesn't sound particularly insulting to me?

Had the same problem a couple of months ago. At first I was polite and explained I do not used Microsoft, my Macbook, obviously runs OS X and the PC runs Ubuntu, a Linux distro. On about the fifth call I decided to play along with the female caller, unfortunately I could not keep it up and started chuckling. "Why are you laughing?" At that I creased up and her response was, "F..k you!" and hung up! Not had a call since. :-)
