Happened to me once. I did not know who he was in told him so. It’s possible the guy was bluffing. He claimed to be some state senator.

    Working on the helldesk of an internet provider in the early 2010s.

    Dude had our bog standard account and tried to claim he was our biggest customer.

    Really mate? You aren’t a university, you are a mum and pop shop that got shafted by our competitor and we came in and rescued you.

      Former helldesk employee from the mid 1990’s here. Thank you for serving.

      I had one that did this. Dude bought 10 years worth of dial-up access in 1995.
