I've had that a few time Derek, the last time only last week, but I did play them along, told them I'd typed in the address they gave me, after taking ages for my computer to boot up, the guy was getting right frustrated when I kept telling I was typing in the address and nothing happened his end, eventually I just said, see you don't like your time being wasted do you *$!+ and laughed, he hung up
