My mom got a call from her "grandson" saying he was in jail and needed money to bail himself out. My mom yelled at him for 20 minutes telling him she told him if he went to jail one more time she was not bailing him out again!! She said I have already bailed you out too many times and given you thousands of dollars. He pleaded with her for 20 minutes. She kept lecturing him but stringing him along. He was so mad when she told him she only has granddaughters!! I too enjoy playing with scammers!!
My Dad called me to tell me my son is in Florida and in jail... I was like Dad, your grandson is at the house sleep and I would of told you if we went to Florida... I was like it was a scam and I felt so bad for my Dad ❤ 😢
I had an elderly aunt-in-law who got bilked out of $6500 bailing my neohew out of a non-existent jail, via Western Union money transfer no less. I have a lot of hate on for these scum.
One of my high school friends used to give the phone to his grandmother who had dementia when scammers called. She loved talking to people, and would sit on the phone for hours, agreeing to everything and he gave her an expired gift card that she'd try to buy things with at the end. It was so hilarious, she really enjoyed talking to "those nice youngsters" and we got a chuckle out of wasting their time.
I used to be a telemarketer back in the day when I couldn't find any other job. Still remember every word from the speech. My favorite thing to do now when scammers call me is to immediately go into my schpiel trying to sell them magazines lol
That's hilarious and they probably thought that they could get sweet old grandma and put in extra effort. I wish that was on video. I would have loved to see it.
@@GodblessUSAuniversal. I have an idea, why don’t you make videos about all the right wing scum bags that follow Trump around. Or you could make one about the actual Neo-Nazis showing up to defend white supremacist Ron DeSantis in his war on Disney and drag queens.

I fell for it once. It was allegedly from the German railway and they were offering very cheap tickets. I was wary, but someone said they had checked at their station and were told that the offer is valid, so for the first time since I’ve had internet (27 years), I decided to go for it. The next thing I know is I get a letter from the CC bank asking for a callback because they couldn’t reach me by phone. It turned out that the company offering the deal on behalf of German Rail was trying to book €70 off my CC as a monthly subscription payment! The bank told me they had stopped the payment as a precaution until they had confirmation from me that it was valid. I was shocked and said absolutely not, so to be on the safe side, they blocked the CC and sent me a new one at no extra cost. I’m so grateful to them for being so observant and saving me a lot of money! I believe the person who said it was valid may have been working for the company. What confused me in this particular case was that when I received the letter from my bank, they mentioned that the company was in Cyprus (that was not clear on the initial offer that just mentioned German Rail). It just so happens, by pure coincidence, that my family lives in Cyprus and I was visiting there a couple of months earlier, but I couldn’t remember purchasing anything with CC during my visit.
That guy sounded like Mike Lindell, only with about 1/4 of the energy. This was actually a potentially convincing sell, unfortunately. David, you do an amazing job. I appreciate you for keeping it civil and kind, and for not openly laughing at him lol
I must have 5000 blocked numbers. If you call me from out of state, blocked, if you can from in state or a state i frequent then I'll let you leave a voicemail and decide then (99% blocks). After all the boxing I never get calls anymore.
I let the message machine pick up every call. If I hear someone I know talking I pick up. Most of the robo calls in our area just say a name and city and state. Lately they have been leaving a short message so it screws up your phone and you have to listen to the calls. I have signed the do not call list many times and it seems to be ignored. I feel like I'm held hostage by these scammers, I don't have the patience to play with them anymore.
The worst part is the amount of elderly people that fall right into these traps. Even if they don't lie, they can be so unbelievably manipulating. If this one was legit the salesman would not have ended the call like he did. He would have been open and polite even if the sale falls through. Good job David.
I worked as a telemarketing rep years ago for MCI. I am a honest person and had many sales, then I found out most of what I promised my customers wasn’t backed by the company. I got called out for doing everything I could to help a customer who had been screwed when she switched her phone plans to MCI. I quit that job that day.
I stuck at sales too. I tell people my skill is making people happy after they’re unhappy with what the salesperson sold them. I can get businessman to take massive loans but not buy anything… I’m too honest for telemarketing.

I’m grateful you played this for your audience. I have never lasted as long on a scammer call as you have. I think from now on I will ask caller to tell me what name they are calling.
I almost fell for thus in college way back in 1994. Thank goodness I had a roommate much smarter than myself. If it sounds too good to be true, it is a scam. Good work David.
Having worked as a telemarketer, I can tell you it is one really hard job. Most of the products being sold are sort of scammy to downright scammy. Hated my time as telemarketing as often product sold with half truths. The reason the asking for the money is so far into the speel is the idea you are so excited and overwhelmed with all the information you have been given you will be excited about using whatever hook they have thrown you and say yes to the product. (Even though you really don’t need it or want it!)
Exactly. I've used the same tactic. I managed to waste one "company's" time over a span of 4 days. It's absolutely worth it to both frustrate them and keep them from making an actual "sale".
I’m hearing impaired and have a landline captioning phone, when a telemarketer calls I answer, “this call is being recorded and a 3rd party is listening!” They hang up quickly or just say yes or no repeatedly then I hang up. I have also just left them on the counter. I hate them! I’m glad you did this.
I get calls like this all the time. Unfortunately unless you’re incredibly technologically skilled it’s impossible to do anything about it (i.e. figuring out who’s doing it.) That’s not to say the government doesn’t try to convict these people when possible, though.
@purg4821 That's true. I remember those text messages promising a gift card from a large box store. They finally caught them, I don't know what happened to them, but I don't get those text messages anymore
@@PurgPurg You can report them to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), if you can get them to give you a phone number to call them back. If they call you, they can spoof/fake the number that shows up in your caller ID. If you get contact info for you to reach them (a number, website, location, etc.), then you can report them.
That was amazing, David! You have more patience than I do, because I won't even answer the phone for telemarketers. I love how you kept him on the phone for ages, and finally told him you knew it was a scam. He sounded so disappointed.
@@kimberley1449 My ex husband never met a scam he didn’t fall for! Part of the reason he’s my ex. 😏 He wasn’t stupid, just gullible. I finally realized the reason he was so susceptible was if he thought someone was offering him an exceptional deal he found it impossible to walk away from it, even if it was something he didn’t necessarily want. He would have easily been taken in by this scam, he was always trying to get me to sign up for condominium time shares. A completely irrational dude and awful with money, I was lucky he didn’t gamble away all my savings. It was strange because as soon as we were divorced my finances improved and I haven’t had any money problems since. 😂🤣
@@volusiasorangeExactly. That's who usually is targeted. There are anti-scammer channels I follow where white-hat hackers have been able to help victims, and the victims are overwhelmingly seniors.
This like the time share scam. I met them whenni was on vacation. I was invited to their facilities and was promised all sort of things. At least the food and beverages was free, the rest i told them to keep. Later i got a phonecall about some time share in Florida, obviously i didn't buy in to that either.
@@orange_is_the_worst_color I love to watch to watch them delete their lists of potential victims. Anything that slows these rat turds down is great. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam.
I understand the impulse to catch a scam BUT Many legitimate telemarketers are just trying to pay their bills... rent, water, electricity, you know, the basics. I know this because I used to be one of them and it was no fun! Then I got fired for low sales, so I couldn't pay my rent, got evicted and had to move back home.😔 It was for the best anyway though cause I got to spend some time with my father and help my mother out around the house before he died six months later. 😢
That is the key to happiness. These day, a phone solicitation (at least from a company you don't have a history with) is pretty much 100% a scam. And if I ever get such a call from a company I've worked with in the past (very rare), my only response is to ask them to remove me from their call list. I have a 100% non-participation policy for telemarketing outreach.
me neither. never buy from a cold call, never buy from an advert, never give to a charity collecting in the street or knocking on my door. I prefer to source my own goods, my own deals, and my own charities.
That is a great policy, and will be an easy thing to do, unfortunately many elderly people crave the contact even if it is over the phone and fall for this scam. It’s the one time I am thankful I am an introvert and hate to talk to people I don’t know. I save money on phone bills since I have limited phone plans and never go over my minutes.😊

honestly one of the more impressive presentations i have heard. usually its low effort high volume scams that you see, i think it could have worked on some old lady maybe.
I’ve seen this in action at a payday lender firm I got tricked into working at for a week after I lost a job in a call center that wasn’t selling anything. The morning meetings they encourage you to just say “whatever they wanna hear” - I ended up getting hit with a 1600 dollar penalty from unemployment cause I didn’t know that going into quit in the morning in person counted as a day of work.
You were very patient. When I have the time I lead these scammers on as long as possible in the hope that my time wasting saves some other person being ripped off that day.
🤣😂🤣 LOVE IT! Being retired, I sometimes play with these scammers, too. I pretend to be an excited grandma. They smell a windfall! They'll finally get exasperated answering my repeated, feeble questions, or taking 5 minutes to find my credit card. In the end I'll give them my best, loud Cruella De Vil laugh...
I want to thank you so much, David, for f#cking with this scammer! Being a 66 year old woman, who will be receiving only SS in December for income, I fall in the age group that scammers love. I’m usually pretty good at spotting them, but unfortunately, this last year, I fell for one at the tune of $2000. I do learn by my mistakes, but it will still take me a while to pay off my 1, & only, credit card. I still feel incredibly stupid. The end of this call was so satisfying, and I really appreciate that 😊😊😊. I just love how, whenever he makes a comment during her spiel, it throws her off, and she seems to have to find her place again 😂. In addition, how he played the male scammer was priceless 😂😂. I wonder if he,and his company manager, will know about this. Maybe you could do a follow up 😊😊?
@w.peterroberts2555 Sorry to hear about your experience. I also consider myself pretty street smart and aware of scams but it almost happened to me when I was in my 20s. My boss saved me. But I'm curious, how were you scammed? Some of them are so good, so dont beat yourself up.
@@CALLMESIR... It had to do with a health improvement program. Extremely high pressure sales, and with me, frankly, wanting to live longer for my adult children. I was hook line and sinker. Although, my children are totally unaware, people who do know, say the same kind words you say, but it’s still upsets me tremendously.
I also consider myself good at spotting the scammers as well. But a few months ago I got caught as well. I think what really tricked me was it was an ad I saw right here on TH-cam. They only got me for about $40 dollars but they got my bank information so I had to change my bank card and everything. Which ended up making me late in paying some of my bills. BTW if there is anyone out there that reads this, please don't fall for the Bed & bath and beyond clearance sale. It's a scam!
As a former call center employee , lmao. Also wanna add that after my somewhat honest call center job , I got conned into working for a payday lender firm. I quit after a week, the morning meetings we were ENCOURAGED to lie. “Say whatever they wanna hear”
The problem w/ payday lenders is that they are what used to be known as "loan sharks" ... only now they're permitted to operate under the law despite their absolutely predatory business practices (which include but is not limited to preposterously high interest rates).
This is great stuff David. It’s entertaining but more importantly keeps these scams and their tactics top of mind. Most of your listeners aren’t at risk but our parents and grandparents could be. It reminds us to remind them.
Haven't seen one of these videos in a while. As a British person, I always find such calls fascinating as we don't get them (or rather due to the Telephone Preference Service, we can opt out). It surely can't be that they get paid for how long they keep you on the phone as that makes little sense. So I wonder why they take so long to get to the point? Or is their training such that they think that the longer you're on, the more chance you are of being sold something? Because that also makes little sense either.
Funny you say this because theres another person in the comments saying theyre British and they get these type of calls too. We are supposed to be able to opt out also but that doesnt always work.
You can’t “opt out” of fraudulent calls. You can opt out of telemarketing calls by legitimate companies that respect the opt out list. These people aren’t selling anything. They are straight up criminals. They certainly don’t care about an opt out list.
@@helenswan705 I'm not so sure - there are plenty of channels here on TH-cam devoted to exposing 'Computer Support' scammers and the victims they talk about are mainly UK people.
I love messing with scammers. A lot of the scams are repetitious, so I have my responses ready before they even begin talking. Those vacation ones drag on forever, like they’re trying to sell a timeshare. The woman sounds like my Allstate agent. 😂
This guy was extremely kind despite the fact that you told him he spends his days deceiving people out of money and kept him on the line for over ten minutes.
I do the same thing but end up yelling at a dog that is not even there😂 then end the call with the dog whizzing on the carpet. I also practice my ole England 🇬🇧 accent
Very nicely done David. We should have a three digit number that we can dial into the phone that immediate sends these people to the Attorney General’s office for prosecution. If I were king, you can bet we’d have such a thing.
The man's cadence is very bizarre, almost comical. Reminds me of an out-dated carnival barker or a street hawker or something of the sort. Good on you for putting this out there to show how misleading these callers can be
The goal is to steal your identity, they get all your information plus your credit card. In a few minutes they take all your money and get more money in your name. When they're done with your identity, they sell it in the dark web
This totally sounds like a scam. I get calls like this about my extended warranty for my car and I haven't had a car in over 30 years. Good job for listening and letting us hear it too.

I almost fell for thus in college way back in 1994. Thank goodness I had a roommate much smarter than myself. If it sounds too good to be true, it is a scam. Good work David.
Having worked as a telemarketer, I can tell you it is one really hard job. Most of the products being sold are sort of scammy to downright scammy. Hated my time as telemarketing as often product sold with half truths. The reason the asking for the money is so far into the speel is the idea you are so excited and overwhelmed with all the information you have been given you will be excited about using whatever hook they have thrown you and say yes to the product. (Even though you really don’t need it or want it!)
The more time you stay on the line with these guys, the less likely they'll be free to scam someone less astute.
Your comment doesn't make any sense.
You forgot the 'less' before likely, but you can edit it in by clicking on the three dots at the right of your text.
@@chezmoi42 Thank you! My mind was in worry mode about Israel so I wasn't adequately focused. I appreciate you.
Exactly. I've used the same tactic. I managed to waste one "company's" time over a span of 4 days. It's absolutely worth it to both frustrate them and keep them from making an actual "sale".
The fake laughs and the "with tears in my eyes, I have to admit" genuinely made me laugh. 😅
I’m hearing impaired and have a landline captioning phone, when a telemarketer calls I answer, “this call is being recorded and a 3rd party is listening!” They hang up quickly or just say yes or no repeatedly then I hang up. I have also just left them on the counter. I hate them! I’m glad you did this.
Oh My GOD! This sort of crap should be destroyed and convicted!
I get calls like this all the time. Unfortunately unless you’re incredibly technologically skilled it’s impossible to do anything about it (i.e. figuring out who’s doing it.) That’s not to say the government doesn’t try to convict these people when possible, though.
@purg4821
That's true. I remember those text messages promising a gift card from a large box store. They finally caught them, I don't know what happened to them, but I don't get those text messages anymore
@@PurgPurgunless the call is coming from _inside_ the _White_ _House!_
She literally sounded like the former guy blathering about his "brand."
@@PurgPurg You can report them to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), if you can get them to give you a phone number to call them back.
If they call you, they can spoof/fake the number that shows up in your caller ID. If you get contact info for you to reach them (a number, website, location, etc.), then you can report them.
Aren't there any rules to protect the public from such crimes? You'd think this happens only in banana republics.
That was a flawless execution, sir! I'm a big burly firefighter myself but I have tears in my eyes.
I just love big burly firefighters.
This call needs an impeachment inquiry SIR!
😂
Lol
Her delivery was on the money, the set up for the male fast/slick talker😂 Gotta tell you David, you and that laugh....frickin' hilarious!
That was amazing, David! You have more patience than I do, because I won't even answer the phone for telemarketers. I love how you kept him on the phone for ages, and finally told him you knew it was a scam. He sounded so disappointed.
At first they gave you 8 vacations and then down to 5!! Very strange!!
. . . if you weren't already suspicious!
I love how they were willing to give him all this based on just a phone number!!! They didn't even have his name! LOL
I love David’s sense of humor. It’s subtle but very cutting. I find it hard to believe anyone would actually fall for this scam.
I did about 10 years ago and it cost me about 400 . Never made that mistake again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hell I almost bought the package about 12 minutes into the call
@@kimberley1449 My ex husband never met a scam he didn’t fall for! Part of the reason he’s my ex. 😏
He wasn’t stupid, just gullible. I finally realized the reason he was so susceptible was if he thought someone was offering him an exceptional deal he found it impossible to walk away from it, even if it was something he didn’t necessarily want. He would have easily been taken in by this scam, he was always trying to get me to sign up for condominium time shares. A completely irrational dude and awful with money, I was lucky he didn’t gamble away all my savings. It was strange because as soon as we were divorced my finances improved and I haven’t had any money problems since. 😂🤣
it's not hard to believe at all, especially older folks.
@@volusiasorangeExactly. That's who usually is targeted. There are anti-scammer channels I follow where white-hat hackers have been able to help victims, and the victims are overwhelmingly seniors.
LOL that cheesy forced laugh Pakman kept doing is halarious!! I lost it everytime he did it LOL 😅😂🤣👍
@@BlondieHappyGuy Too focused on the pitch to catch anything. Quite common really.
This like the time share scam. I met them whenni was on vacation. I was invited to their facilities and was promised all sort of things. At least the food and beverages was free, the rest i told them to keep. Later i got a phonecall about some time share in Florida, obviously i didn't buy in to that either.
As a long time kitboga fan, this is really great to see! When they're talking to you, that agent isn't scamming someone else. Good work!
Exactly!
That little smile when David slipped in the stray, Obamna! Well played! Priceless!
This guy on the phone sounds like he was trained as an auctioneer.
Cocaine is typically something that gets looked over in these offices. I’ve seen it
Right? The tone. I listened at 1.25x speed too, so I thought the exact same thing.
I think the male scammer sounds kind of like Mike Lindell??? 😂😂😂
@@octobermoon3959I thought the same exact thing. His cadence is really weird, the way his pitch rises at the end of every sentence.
@@octobermoon3959 hahaha! U R Hilarious
David, next time you should let them know that you just shared the call with your almost 2 million subscribers. 😂
Keep doing these! Love to see you waste the scammers time
Do you watch Scammer Payback on youtube?
@@orange_is_the_worst_colorI was just about to say - there’s great channels for that if that’s your thing! I love them.
@@orange_is_the_worst_color I love to watch to watch them delete their lists of potential victims. Anything that slows these rat turds down is great. If it sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam.
Watch KitBoga. He's genius at wasting scammers time.
I understand the impulse to catch a scam BUT
Many legitimate telemarketers are just trying to pay their bills... rent, water, electricity, you know, the basics.
I know this because I used to be one of them and it was no fun!
Then I got fired for low sales, so I couldn't pay my rent, got evicted and had to move back home.😔
It was for the best anyway though cause I got to spend some time with my father and help my mother out around the house before he died six months later. 😢
Yea, they should be investigated. Hopefully people don't easily fall for scams like this.
OMG! The lengths these telemarketers go through to con us. If you don’t have your wits about you. You are screwed.
It is not their fault, it is the rich owners fault. Son’5 pick on people trying to feed their family
It is not their fault, it the rich owners fault. Stop picking on people that maybe make 20Gd a year.
Just disgusting by Mark
When I know it's a caller like this, I typically just answer with "City morgue you stab em, we slab em."
I prefer "Roadkill Diner, you kill em we grill em."
🤣🤣

Personally, I don't buy anything from someone who calls me. There are a lot of scammers out there trying to get your money
That is the key to happiness. These day, a phone solicitation (at least from a company you don't have a history with) is pretty much 100% a scam. And if I ever get such a call from a company I've worked with in the past (very rare), my only response is to ask them to remove me from their call list. I have a 100% non-participation policy for telemarketing outreach.
me neither. never buy from a cold call, never buy from an advert, never give to a charity collecting in the street or knocking on my door. I prefer to source my own goods, my own deals, and my own charities.
If u haven't initiated the call then it's probably a scam so
That is a great policy, and will be an easy thing to do, unfortunately many elderly people crave the contact even if it is over the phone and fall for this scam. It’s the one time I am thankful I am an introvert and hate to talk to people I don’t know. I save money on phone bills since I have limited phone plans and never go over my minutes.😊
I love how the guy is actually trying hard to fake organize these "vacations"
I apparently have 2 time shares that keep telling me I'm owed bigly but need to send 200 bucks to get my hundreds of thousands
David "the peoples champion social democrat" Pakman wasting the time and making fun of workers, kinda depressing actually.
@@JOHNTIM212 found the crooked telemarketer 😄 Stop wasting time on TH-cam, back to work! People aren't gonna scam themselves!
@@JOHNTIM212 They are not "workers"
They are thieves. They prey on and steal from the vulnerable and less clever in society.
The same way Donald Slump tricks you out of donations.
@@JOHNTIM212 I suppose telephone scammers are "telecommunications workers", in the same sense that bank robbers are "currency couriers" and carjackers are "automobile sales people"....
The scammer was like a cartoon con-artist. I could practically see him straightening his tie through the phone!
David, you were wondering if you should even air that phone call....hell yes, I could listen to those all day long 😃🤣😂
It is not their fault, it is the rich owners fault. Stop picking on people trying to feed their family and maybe maaaybe making 20Gs a year
Thank you for this video…I’ve been personally impacted by these sociopaths! It’s actually hard for us to understand their complete lack of conscience. That’s why they get us.
They get you because you are trusting and don't do your research.
How do these scam artists look themselves in the mirror every morning
Don't buy mirrors
@@RadenshaalAsk Trump.
Morning? Try hourly self gazing.
Just don’t care
@@tinasummers4578 I wish, truth is they care and take pride in overcoming the hurdle that is morality. They legit see it as self improvement.
I used to get mad at these calls, but now I just set aside a little time of my day to get back at them for disturbing me.
When you reach 60 or 70, lonely and hate watching incontinence commercials, Tom Selick reverse mortgage commercials, and Vivica Fox and Ice Cube selling fake car accident insurance, then this is a form of personal entertainment hehehehe 🤣😋
Just remember, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
I enjoyed his immensely, and hats off to David's acting chops.
These people should be charged and indicated.
We should indicate them first then charge them.
Indicated?
I think you meant indicted
@@Galatian1 liberals don’t even know what the term means. They hear Trump got indicted so they just start throwing the word around lmao
@@comrademajor12 Indoctrinated magat logic is weak/pathetic. Judging by the intelligence of the average magat.........it's probably best for you to not compare the two on mental abilities.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Such delicious precision calls for a chef's kiss!
Why mute out her organization? Name and shame!
honestly one of the more impressive presentations i have heard. usually its low effort high volume scams that you see, i think it could have worked on some old lady maybe.
I’ve seen this in action at a payday lender firm I got tricked into working at for a week after I lost a job in a call center that wasn’t selling anything.
The morning meetings they encourage you to just say “whatever they wanna hear” - I ended up getting hit with a 1600 dollar penalty from unemployment cause I didn’t know that going into quit in the morning in person counted as a day of work.
This is a smooth operator who I'm sure could scam more than old gullible people.
You were very patient. When I have the time I lead these scammers on as long as possible in the hope that my time wasting saves some other person being ripped off that day.
🤣😂🤣 LOVE IT! Being retired, I sometimes play with these scammers, too. I pretend to be an excited grandma. They smell a windfall! They'll finally get exasperated answering my repeated, feeble questions, or taking 5 minutes to find my credit card. In the end I'll give them my best, loud Cruella De Vil laugh...
You better put that bad attitude in check, David!!! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!
How come Kevin sounds like Mike Pillow 😂🤷
I thought the same!
@@christophervigneau1718 He is desperate for money 🤑😂
I would have hung up within the first 30 seconds.
I don't even answer.
With me, it depends on the time available and mood. As with David here, it seemed he had time to kill.
I don't answer any unknown callers
I don't answer numbers I don't know. If they really want me, they'll leave a message.
6.4 seconds and I'm out
We all know how painful it can be when someone takes the expiration out of your package.
Love that you’re embracing your funny side David 😂😂😂. Excellent work.
I think the plan is called trumps vacations congratulations on becoming the newest member.
We have resorts at islands off the coasts of SanFran and New York, as well as in BEAUTIFUL San Quentin.
I want to thank you so much, David, for f#cking with this scammer! Being a 66 year old woman, who will be receiving only SS in December for income, I fall in the age group that scammers love. I’m usually pretty good at spotting them, but unfortunately, this last year, I fell for one at the tune of $2000. I do learn by my mistakes, but it will still take me a while to pay off my 1, & only, credit card. I still feel incredibly stupid.
The end of this call was so satisfying, and I really appreciate that 😊😊😊.
I just love how, whenever he makes a comment during her spiel, it throws her off, and she seems to have to find her place again 😂. In addition, how he played the male scammer was priceless 😂😂.
I wonder if he,and his company manager, will know about this. Maybe you could do a follow up 😊😊?
Sir, I just need to read my script here. Please don't interrupt.
@w.peterroberts2555 Sorry to hear about your experience. I also consider myself pretty street smart and aware of scams but it almost happened to me when I was in my 20s. My boss saved me. But I'm curious, how were you scammed? Some of them are so good, so dont beat yourself up.
@@CALLMESIR... It had to do with a health improvement program. Extremely high pressure sales, and with me, frankly, wanting to live longer for my adult children. I was hook line and sinker. Although, my children are totally unaware, people who do know, say the same kind words you say, but it’s still upsets me tremendously.
I also consider myself good at spotting the scammers as well. But a few months ago I got caught as well. I think what really tricked me was it was an ad I saw right here on TH-cam. They only got me for about $40 dollars but they got my bank information so I had to change my bank card and everything. Which ended up making me late in paying some of my bills. BTW if there is anyone out there that reads this, please don't fall for the Bed & bath and beyond clearance sale. It's a scam!
Stop answering calls, emails, and texts from any unknown sources.
Should've forwarded the call to Pierogi at Scammer Payback
I came here to say that if you like this stuff, check out scammer payback.

Idk, I think the People's Call Center would've handled it well
Nice to have a humorous break from all the headaches and horrible events in the world right now!
Definitely! David showing off his legendary ad libs and poker face.. 🤣
This WAS interesting! I love how you handled it. The fake laugh was my favorite part.
As a former call center employee , lmao. Also wanna add that after my somewhat honest call center job , I got conned into working for a payday lender firm. I quit after a week, the morning meetings we were ENCOURAGED to lie. “Say whatever they wanna hear”
What agency should you make a report with? The FTC?
The problem w/ payday lenders is that they are what used to be known as "loan sharks" ... only now they're permitted to operate under the law despite their absolutely predatory business practices (which include but is not limited to preposterously high interest rates).
@@zenkim6709 Lying to customers hasn't been legalized, just usury.
You are so patient and kind.
David, sir, you slayed me with the "thank God" line around 3:43 in response to the lady telling you the hotels had no blackout dates.
I love how 10:43 David hits the “OBAMNA” button and it doesn’t even phase that guy during his speech 😂😅
I heard the OBAMNA just as I read your comment 😂
@@valmacclinchy😅So did I!
This is great stuff David. It’s entertaining but more importantly keeps these scams and their tactics top of mind.
Most of your listeners aren’t at risk but our parents and grandparents could be. It reminds us to remind them.
I really hope David does this again. A "perfect phone call" one might say
The telemarketer wanted David to GIVE him his name, and maybe his email, that way they could add that to the phone number.
Well played David.
If the scammer happens to see this: you are good and talented, and you should use those talents for something good and worthy.
Probably trained and worked in an actual call center to then realize this pays more. I agree
Don't give this guy any ideas. There's plenty of work out there for the Televangelists where he might land next! 😂
"What's the average age of the people you trick?" Epic!
While he's attempting to scam you, you could have saved a potential victim ✌️
Haven't seen one of these videos in a while. As a British person, I always find such calls fascinating as we don't get them (or rather due to the Telephone Preference Service, we can opt out). It surely can't be that they get paid for how long they keep you on the phone as that makes little sense. So I wonder why they take so long to get to the point? Or is their training such that they think that the longer you're on, the more chance you are of being sold something? Because that also makes little sense either.
Funny you say this because theres another person in the comments saying theyre British and they get these type of calls too. We are supposed to be able to opt out also but that doesnt always work.
You can’t “opt out” of fraudulent calls. You can opt out of telemarketing calls by legitimate companies that respect the opt out list. These people aren’t selling anything. They are straight up criminals. They certainly don’t care about an opt out list.
TPS only opts out of calls originating in UK. And there must be a hundred workarounds for that! But it's true we don't get as many scam calls.
@@helenswan705 I'm not so sure - there are plenty of channels here on TH-cam devoted to exposing 'Computer Support' scammers and the victims they talk about are mainly UK people.
@@jagpilotohio Never said you could.
So funny that he thinks David would fall for the "There's no name on your account" lies. 😂😂😂
Ive got this same call...
Its a time share vacation BS...
I love messing with scammers. A lot of the scams are repetitious, so I have my responses ready before they even begin talking. Those vacation ones drag on forever, like they’re trying to sell a timeshare. The woman sounds like my Allstate agent. 😂
This guy was extremely kind despite the fact that you told him he spends his days deceiving people out of money and kept him on the line for over ten minutes.
I received a call about the same offer and I guess the young lady was upset because I did not even let her finish the spiel. She called me a “bish.” 😂
I do the same thing but end up yelling at a dog that is not even there😂 then end the call with the dog whizzing on the carpet. I also practice my ole England 🇬🇧 accent
🤣
This guy sounds exactly like My Pillow Guy!!! 😆😂
Imagine those scumbags having to live with who they are...
I had this happen to me and they sounded so convincing. Even had a website.
You should have told them that the offer they have for you, brought tears to your eyes...
I still am in disbelief that these scams still work lol
Very nicely done David. We should have a three digit number that we can dial into the phone that immediate sends these people to the Attorney General’s office for prosecution. If I were king, you can bet we’d have such a thing.
The man's cadence is very bizarre, almost comical. Reminds me of an out-dated carnival barker or a street hawker or something of the sort. Good on you for putting this out there to show how misleading these callers can be
Yes, reminded me of a certain politician we all know.
David...You are SO good at this! You wasted so much of their time. It's so damn funny!
He took the scammer's time away from scamming others ❤️
Any conversation where "sir" is repeatedly used is repugnant.
Especially if you're female !
Scammers sounding better from threatening jail time for scam cash to vacation scam cash
The goal is to steal your identity, they get all your information plus your credit card. In a few minutes they take all your money and get more money in your name. When they're done with your identity, they sell it in the dark web
Thanks!
This totally sounds like a scam. I get calls like this about my extended warranty for my car and I haven't had a car in over 30 years. Good job for listening and letting us hear it too.
Thank you for your service. I do this every couple weeks when I feel up to it with the hope of wasting as much of their day as possible. Freaking parasites.
