I think someone has pranked me:(

Just start the call : good morning sir , you are on the live radio , recorded line and today our guest FBI agent john brown and we are talking today about telephone scams , please state your name and state you are calling from !
For you Americans without accent its such a great way to troll those MF ( i have accent and cant do it , but its fun sometimes to waste their time on the long runs )

 

Yeah I love those calls where they talk at about 100 mph the best way to deal with that without being to rude, is when they finally stop, ask them to repeat what they've just said only more slowly as you did not get what they were talking about.

 

They literally prey on the old and lonely people who live alone. They will make 1000 phone calls before finding a vulnerable person and wipe them out. The Indian government does nothing to stop it, great allies they are and all.

 

On top of everyday calls offering funding, these is the texts I also get

 

I remember FIRST RUN Television Shows in the '60's, ya whippersnapper!
One is only as elder an one feels and a good day is sediment free flatulence.

 

Seems like another scam. Interesting tactic Pay for a 3 month "Plan", so $140.00 year.
I ONLY respond to incoming CALLS that are in MY CONTACTS.
If Calls are "so important", which most are not, they can jolly well input a message, so I primarily get Contact Messages.
I'm supposedly ON a "Do Not Call List".
Wife keeps getting the "2015 Ford F-350 Warranty Lapsed" crap and hangs up.

I'm still waiting on the "there's an arrest warrant out on you" from the 202 area code.

CHEERS!!

 

I love the extended warranty salesmen. Last time one of them called while I was working in the office, telling me that for $49.95 per month they would cover any every repair bill. "Sign me up!" I said with so much enthusiasm it confused him.

Then he asked for the year, make, and model.

"Well, we have about 30 Peterbilt trucks, the oldest ones are pushing half a million miles, and about 40 tanker trailers dating as far back as 1971. Our maintenance budget is killing us, y'all are gonna save us thousands of dollars every month."

This guy, in a very disgusted tone of voice: "uh, you have a nice day sir" and hung up.

 

Sometimes in websites there will be a statement saying
By proceeding you agree to….
Many click and go on
Then the small print says we can solicit etc

 

I just checked with the agent reading all my wit and wisdom, he says they're way behind. Probably won't get to you another 2-3 years. Maybe it will go away by then?

PS: They don't usually call ahead first, I've been told.

 

No calls thankfully, tons of emails tho. I figure if I needed it they wouldn’t be emailing. lol That’s the way it goes.
