Phone spammers

Oh oh oh! Almost forgot the best part!

Me: May I ask what this is regarding?

Him: We're conducting a study about BlahBlahBlah.

Me: Ok, but what is this call actually regarding?

Him: Uh...I just told you.

Me: No, you didn't. You told me that you're conducting a study. You haven't actually told me what you want.

Him: Uh...yes, I did.

It reminded me of the scene from Idiocracy where he goes to the hospital and Dr Lexus just kept repeating "Why come you don't have a...tattoo?"

Just had another call from the same company. The guy was in the bottom percentile of intelligence. I think he could barely read as he seemed to be struggling with the script. He didn't understand why I was trying to charge him for my time. Eventually, he just kept repeating "Uhh...thank you for your time" but he refused to hang up (often, they're not allowed to hang up on you without the supervisor's permission), so I stayed on the line and kept "running up the tab", demanding to know what method of payment he was going to use to compensate me for the ever-increasing amount of time he was using up. I got him up to four minutes before the line suddenly went dead.

See....now you're just being cruel!

NOOOOO! Dangit, I thought I finally managed to escape her clutches!

Credit Card Services!!! They are scammers that spoof the caller ID so you can never call them back. All they are trying to do is trick you out of a card #. I used to get mad but that never worked. They won't take you off their call list. They are relentless so I have just started to mess with them and see how long I can keep them on the phone.

I put them on speaker phone...
I pretend to try to steal my mom's CC#...
I tell them I'm a police department...
I tell them I'm 911, what's your emergency...

The FCC and I have had many conversations about that scam. They always say they can't do anything about it, which is baloney.

After I got the cell phone number I have now, I kept getting calls for someone else. They would ask if I was such and such. I told them no and to quit calling and that I had just got this number. The last time they called I was in the bathroom... Never heard from them again.

Wish I would of seen this 10 minutes ago. All I could think of was F...you ...A..Wipe. Not really very effective but felt kinda good.

 

[$mooth]

Perfect. I just tried that. He went away in a hurry.

I love messing with phone spammers. This was tonight's call:

Her: Hello, I'mwithBlahBlahBlahMarketResearchmayIpleasespeaktothemanofthehouse?

Me: Oh, great! Let me give you my rates. For opinion surveys, I charge $50 for the first five minutes, and then $25 for each additional five minutes. I am having a special this week, though. Until 6PM each night, I'm only charging $40 for the first five minutes, and it looks like you just squeaked in under the cut-off time! Now, I can take Visa or Mastercard. I can also do an EBT, but I'm afraid you'll have to call back after it's cleared. How will you be paying this evening?

Her: Uh...what? We don't pay anything.

Me: I don't understand. The company isn't paying you?

Her: Well, no, I get paid.

Me: Well, why is your time more valuable than mine? You don't give surveys for free, why should I answer them for free?

Her: Uh...can you hold on the line for just a second?

...

Her: *click*

Me:

I WILL find a way to ban you with my Moderating powers on behalf of other vBulletin forums if you don't record a conversation such as this and post it next time!

LOVE IT!!!

I find it makes them most uncomfortable if after 30 seconds into their schpeel, you pretend that you are becoming sexually arroused, then really hammer them to ask you a question in a different way that eludes to the size of your manhood. It's odd how some people get disturbed by the sounds of your "staged" self gratification...lol

 

[Scutter01]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just had another one. Basically the same script. I interrupted her in the first 10 seconds to give her my "rate sheet". Then, after five minutes of trying to convince me to take the survey for free, I told her that her first five minutes was up and she was now legally obligated to reimburse me for my time. I said "Because I quoted my rates to you before our conversation ensued, continuing the conversation constituted acceptance of the terms and you are now legally obligated to reimburse me. Would you like to purchase an additional five minutes at a discounted rate?"

She. Freaked. Out. It was beautiful

 

[Titanium Man]

I get at least one call a day from people wanting me to use their credit card services for my business................very annoying, and I can pretty much set my watch to when they will call and annoy me.

I now just ask the very pretty voice on the other end what she is wearing, and how come they won't send her out, instead of one of their reps. This usually gets them flustered, and hopefully I'm put on a no call list.

What's your script? Can you give some examples?

 

[Scutter01]

I just did. Most of my scripts are off the top of my head. The others are just outlines. It's easy enough to write your own. It helps to keep it by the phone.
