Saying "$1 million dollars only" is an absolute guarantee that the person is from India, because it makes absolutely no sense to use "only" in this context until you remember that people in India use "only" to mean "exactly."

[@DetectiveWraith]

Aggression?

[@the_rahn]

"What's the is the today?" absolutely killed me

[@TheReaper569]

"i need a trustworthy, sincere, accountable being"

[@forlandm]

I would seriously have liked to hear more about the peculiar customs of Hurdle Slaughter.

[@hanselindenbirken7947]

This ‘Ups’ scammer must loathe his job..... Why else would he tell the ‘office in charge’ to go to hell?

[@nonna_sof5889]

At some point the second one started to sound like a Dr. Seuss book... and now I want to see a scam bait written in the style of Dr. Seuss, thanks.

[@ulthii]

I'm not sure if intentional, but the typo in the slide about not letting yourself feel invulnerable just because you notice other people's failings felt rather poetic

[@TheGreenarrow88]

Once had a fake tech support call about "viruses making my computer slower", kept them strung along until I asked if what they were doing would get rid of the ants inside my computer and then they hung up

[@LiterateGoblin1]

I found all of the UPS edits with "To hell with you" immensely entertaining.

[@PhoenixClank]

"clear as mud" is a brilliant expression and I'll work on incorporating it into my everyday vocabulary.

Scientist 1: one joule per second is too long, how about a shorter name?

[@PaulphotoeyeVideo]

My wife does the shopping for an elderly friend. The friend sends cash to various scams that promise luck, money etc. The friend gives them to my wife to post. She doesn't post them and returns the cash to the friends purse. All without the friend knowing. This proves there are other scams the elderly get caught up in.

[@lindastone6868]

"Tell me more" may work better as a hook.

[@LavenderJJ_]

One fun idea I like would be to pretend you're working at the bank the scammer is impersonating, but still play dumb, thinking it's just a colleague at your work. You could just try very subtle things like signing off your email as a worker at HSBC or whatever bank the scammer is pretending to be.

[@jbreckmckye]

I wonder why they get so angry, so quickly. You'd think they'd at least pretend to keep their cool - for the sake of the act. Perhaps it helps them zero in on victims more likely to be compliant?

[@kenfreeman8888]

I always thank the UPS delivery driver. They very rarely respond with, "To hell with you."

[@igorszamaszow171]

As a tribute to both Mrs Wang and Hurdle Slaughter I will use "goodbye to us/me" in conversations on a regular basis from now on.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I like to lead them on and act like I am doing what they want and near the end ask them 'What about the puppies?" the rest of my conversation is all about the puppies. It drives them crazy!
