I don't answer calls I don't recognize. When you answer the robocalls, they know they have a useful number and you will get even more calls. I also have a call filter on my phone that tells me when it's spam. Verizon has it for free.
When they ask for Mr. Blahblahblah, I say ‘just a minute, I’ll get him’. And then every twenty-thirty seconds I ask ‘Did he pick up the phone yet? Just a minute, I’ll yell again’ Sometimes they will stay on the line for 10-15 minutes before they catch on.
And thats 10-15 minutes of people I saved from harrasing/scam callers. 🦸♂️
I got one for my car's warranty. I went through the routine and asked the gal if the warranty covered the cum stains on the back seat of my 63 Buick.
I got the same one you got and she asked for my social security number. I said, "tell me what you want baby, I've got it for you baby" and started breathing heavy.
The best one though so far was the Marriot Hotels have given you an all inclusive 6 day vacation one. The guy with Pakistani accent asked for my name and I said, "before we go any further, can you tell me if this all inclusive vacation includes blow jobs?" Instead of hanging up he told me, "only if you bring your sister." He deserves a prize.
@goliathtree And, I got another one today. "Your opportunity window to sign up for medicare supplemental insurance is closing! If you want supplemental insurance please press 1."
I pressed 1.
Once again, a gal with a strong Pakistani accent answered. Hello, this is Miss LaToya Jackson. Can I help you with insurance?"
"Did you say Latoya Jackson? Really? Latoya?"
"Yes sir. Can I speak with you about supplemental insurance?"
"Yes, but I am wondering first if the insurance will cover boner pills?"
"You are having trouble with your bones? Do you have neck, back or joint pain?"
"I am having trouble with my joint and I am wondering if your insurance will cover boner pills."
"Do you currently have Medicare Insurance?"
"No. Will medicare cover boner pills?"
She finally hung up, but I honestly believe that she had no idea what I was saying and it was only the howling laughter in the background of the other folks in the office that made her hang up.
If they are going to try and scam you, you might just as well have fun with it. In my job, I can't block calls. And even if I could most of the numbers are spoofed.
I’ve been oinking a rubber dog toy, a pig, into the phone repeatedly until they hang up. But this week I’ve been watching scambaiting videos and learning a few choice cuss words that I might use on the when they start cursing the oinking pig.
@ImpeccablyImperfect I used to also. I would imitate their accents.😆 Because once this guy from India would ask me how I knew they were scammers, using the same accent I said "you all sound the same that's how!"
