Scamming the scammers :)

I always enjoy the ones that call up and tell me they've been monitoring my computer and they need into it to fix the problems. I ask them what computer they're monitoring since I threw it out a couple of years ago. It's fun to see how long you can string them on.

I keep them on the phone as long as possible. If everyone just played along with them and kept them on the phone, they would soon be out of business.

Be careful... it can backfire.

I was getting a call at least three times a week from "my credit card company". They never named it. My payment record was spotless and I qualified for zero credit. Press one and wait for an operator.
I pressed one and told the operator to F******.

Now I get two calls a day.... and a wife who likes to remind me "told you so"

Only two calls a day, @Fizz? Slacker. I get four to six.

I also rarely answer them. And when I do, I rarely listen long enough to hear more than three or four words.

We get at least 6 scam calls a day. We no longer answer our land line. Do not call is absolutely worthless! Before you say it, I’d love to drop the land line, but my wife insists on having it.

I once kept a scammer (microsttelling me my computer is going to crash) on the line for 40 minutes. It was actually quite entertaining!

The ones I get with great news on winning or inheriting money are my favorites. I tell them I dont want it and to give it to a local Catholic Church.

Just so you know.
Yesterday I was expecting a call from someone I'd never gotten a call from before so I answered all incoming calls (Well till that one then I went back to Reject) Even if T-mobile said "Scam Likely".

One call they ask if I was me. (They had my name) then said they were from Medicare.. I replied "That's interesting The phone says "Scam Likely" and they hung up.

Yes, Do Not Call is a joke. I get multiple calls every day on our land line and my cell phone. I just don't answer unknown numbers.

I miss the days when I had a home phone number sometimes. My son has the same name as me, and often around dinner time the phone would ring and my wife would answer. Caller would ask to speak with me, terribly mispronouncing my name, and we would hand the phone to my then 5 year old son, and continue with our dinner. Little Mikey used to love to talk on the phone.
