Bogus daylight phone calls.

I get BS phone calls all day long. I usually ignore them and block their spoofed numbers. I have all the insurance I need, am not interested in selling my house yet and will not buy a warranty on a twenty year old mini van.

Today I answered a phone call. It was a recording in Spanish. I began to poke numbers until.someone came on the line. "What are you selling?". They hung up on me. I called the displayed number. It was a spoofed number.

I love messing with scammers. Especially the ones from The Middle east. It's so easy to get them pissed off, and then you get to hear all kinds of creative profanity.

I think my favorite one was this guy who was trying to direct me to go to a particular website so he could steal data right off my hard drive. I played stupid when he said the word dot, acting like I thought he wanted me to spell the word. I forced him to explain every single common sense thing about typing a URL into the browser bar. After I pretended to type it in, I gave it an appropriate amount of time, and then asked me why he had sent me to a picture of a man making love to a camel.

He hung up without a word.

@LordShadowfire Though they are fun and easy to aggravate, it might not be a good idea to talk to them at all because then they know they have a legit number to try to contact again.

About the photo of the camel, he sent that by mistake. It was notes from his driver's ed and sex ed class.

@LordShadowfire I wish I could be more like that sometimes. You have a zest for life that I have lost. Take care
