I call the scammer poor and that seems to make them furious.
I annoyed a scammer by refusing to say yes
I get scam calls everyday:
Auto accident claims.....I got decapitated
Car warranty......I ask if they cover the headlight fluid.
I told one of those "Microsoft" callers we only owned Apple products. Not sure it annoyed them but it certainly shut them up lol
I tried to screw with one by "following along" on a Commodore 64... he didn't even get it :(
I used to get “Microsoft” service calls frequently. Feeling mischievous one day, I decided to play along with his instructions (sort of), knowing he wanted remote control of my computer. I pretended to be a confused old lady, not understanding what he was asking me to do. I could tell he was getting very frustrated, but hanging in there because he thought he had hooked a sucker. After about half an hour, I grew bored and said, “oh, I think I know the problem. I have a Mac, which doesn’t use MS Windows!” (BTW, this was true.) He hung up quickly.
I had started with "Ketchum Mortuary. You sack 'em all, we stack 'em all." Then after watching a short, I typically go with, "Satan's House of ill Repute. How may I help you?" Sometimes I would like to add "To continue to Helena Handbasket, press one, to go to Helen Waite, press two."
I got a call from a phone scammer once and they opened up with saying that they were raising money for kids with autism. I also have autism so I immediately responded saying “like me?”
They paused and asked what I said so I said “I’m a kid with autism!”
Dead silence.
Lol that one scammer wanted money but got a friend instead
Give the number to someone like Kitboga, Plesant Green, or Trilogy Media.
My husband is a fast talking New Yorker, it’s funny when they hang up on him!
After a call each night for two weeks to subscribe to the local paper we got two calls one night. My wife answered the third call listened for a while and told him off in German and Dutch. He must have thought he got Hitler's personal secretary.
I once pretended to be a pimp and tried to offer the scam caller "services"
I used to leave an answering machine message that sounded like me answering the phone. I said one hello, then a pause, then another hello to trick the dialer into picking up the call. Then "Yes, this is (me)." Then a brief message mocking them for being a telemarketer and tricking them into talking to a machine. Some of them thought it was funny, but most didn't.
When I was little (toddler age) my parents would hand the phone to me and I'd babble away about my cats, cartoons, my grandma, etc. My parents didn't have to talk to a scammer and I got to talk on the phone (very cool, I thought)
3:30😂😂😂
Pressing 2 ADDS YOU to more of these bot call
I find scammers funny. They called me saying my computer has a virus. I told them if my computer has a problem, I can go the Apple Store. The scammer was like "Oh, you have a Mac?". I told them yes, then they hung up on me. They could tell my computer has a "virus" but not what kind of computer it was lol. A friend of mine would answer saying "Which computer?" or "I don't have a computer"
"This is the missile room on the HMS Turbulent, how the hell did you get this number?!"
Never got a scam call again
Scammer: Hello you are pre approved for life insurance and senior benefits. Can you confirm your age for us.
Me: shouldn't you know that I'm pre approved
Or one of my favorites is I just keep agreeing and giving them hope and just befor banking info is exchanged I hit em with "oh....you want senior....I'm junior and hang up.
Or when debt collectors call looking for my sister's ex
Me: he doesn't live her and this ain't his number
Collector: do you know a number or address where we could find him?
Me: try a ouija board cause that S.O.B. is dead to me.
A while back, l was receiving a call a day from various people in a land far far away. I bought a hand held air horn. Start conversations quietly, low voice, getting them hooked and to turn up their headphones then BLAST them, much cursing, klick....took about a month and l haven't received a call in almost two years now.
It was entertaining to see the creative tactics used to frustrate phone scammers, combining humor with a cautionary message about staying vigilant.
I forgot what it was but someone asked about vehicle registration and my drivers license.
Me: "I can't get my license until next year when I turn 16"
Caller "whoops "(hangs up)
I love how nobody is mentioning that thumbnail 💀
My mother had a text screen phone because of her hearing. She would read the callers words back to them. They thought she was nuts.
9:27 I always says “bob’s pizzeria and abortion clinic where yesterdays loss is today’s sauces, this is bob speaking how may I help you?” It is even funnier because I sound like a girl
I once told the ""national tax agency" to call me back later on my work number... and gave them the phone number to my local police Financial Crimes Unit.
I tell them that they should come to my house and tell it to my face. I then say that Punisher story arcs were inspired by how I deal with con men.
*in a terrible indian accent when an indian call center does the "microsoft tech support" scam* "DAMNIT RAJIT I TOLD YOU NO CALLING YOUR OWN CALL CENTER!!"
I'm very interested in language learning so I just pick a random language that I know a little bit of and just say random strings of words as responses to their questions until they hang up lol
One time I also pretended to be really dumb and very friendly. I asked the guy where he was from and when he said "New Delhi" I was like "Oh cool! That's in America, right?" and he tried to stifle a laugh and said "Umm no, it's in India"
I've got a friend that says some absolutely heinous insults to them in Indonesian but makes it sound like a kind old man confused by a language barrier 😂😂😂
My grandparents were easy targets for scammers on day my grandmother answered the phone and the scammer, asked for my papaw´s name, her response:”he ain’t here”
I talk dirty to them
Other than not answering (phone shows ‘Spam Risk’), I flirt with them. Nothing risqué. Just like “What are you wearing”? They hang up immediately.
UE Stories, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
i usually just answer in my eric cartman voice, then start quoting ridiculous shit from episodes. telling then i have 33 aborted fetuses in my backyard usually makes makes them hang up on the spot
OR another personal fave: “joes pizzeria and abortion clinic, where yesterdays loss is todays sauce”
i always make my voice sound like an old italian man
My boyfriend starts speaking German.
I got one of the car warranty ones and they asked for a VIN I gave them some random number from a label at the back of my microwave, they got mad when it didn't return a make and model so I told them the truth, it's a 2004 Hamilton Beach😂😂😂
Meh.. My usual reply on the phone to the typical scammer - I only answer "I dont believe you" and hang up. Works for any scammer - from the Microsoft helpcenter from india ( Micrsoft wont do a thing unless you have an upfront paid support contract) to the wine / insurance / whatever sales guy. Worst part for us - we kept the phone number for our house phone from the time my grandparents lived here, my grandfather died in 2008 - and obviously he was a bit alone in the end and fell for some of the scams or at least loved to talk to them to fight loneliness or boredom. Even nowadays we get scamcalls asking us to put grandfather or grandmother (who died 5 years prior) on the phone. The only thing that is changing is the supposed company calling and the product. Earlier it were wine sellers, now they want to improve the personal care insurance (although that is taken care of for 90% of the people over the health insurance that is mandatory in my country). They are very disappointed when we say that our grandparents are dead - but they certainly dont delete the address / phone number and sell it further a couple of months later - so the next scamer / seller calls
Tell them they sound like a small child
Redeem.
I pretend to be a simpleton and tell them I have to ask my mum. I then tell them that my is angry and is now going to hurt me and pretend to cry. I have also used the "I don't speak English " tactic. I am a 50yr aussie male but really immature.
Oh man I have been waiting so long to tell the story My high school teacher So we were on break And she gets a call from this Indian Dude saying she was being arrested for someing So naturally she puts the guy on speaker and tell us to be quiet.
And she says Sir I'm already in person And I only got 10 minutes on the phone The funny part is she does a really good Automated phone voice.
And every Couple seconds she would say You only got x amount of minutes left by the end He was panicking.
And At this point He gets a female on the phone. And by the end we completely lost it 😂 And they just hang up the phone. She was a amazing teacher
Police whistle
14 minutes long in my heavily ghana accent while poorly speaking english is my record for my 2020 pontiac fire the.. bird, chicken i think, its such a good car thats blue with the red interior what, ahh yes i'm ch!lucklo (do the whole cluck sound) and you see how i've kept you reading?
Do that to scammers all the time. I also vary voices, southern accent slow talk is my 2nd favorite. Once got the same scammer with both voices, he called on a different number and i recognized the voice switched back to gahna accent midcall on the 2nd call, scammer lost his mind and wasted even more time in a cussout match while i kept switching voices.
Never use actual voice with scammers.
I am redeeming the card.
Movie spoilers and very disturbing things. If I ask you not to call and you don't respect that, I make you not _want_ to call.
There's also the ones who want to come to my house to clean ducts or such BS. I like to give them the address of the police station.
Answer as follows:
“(Town you live in) Police Department, Fraud Division. How can I help you?”
I am lds so I know my scriptures pretty darn well so I will just start quoting scripture or just open something up and read to them or let my toddlers talk to them on speaker in their high pitched pterodactyl screaming voices.
Ask if they would like to be baptized into christianity
I just start to moan I’m a guy
