I like messing with these folks too. It is extremely entertaining. I act like I'm talking to someone else in the room, and use terrible expletives, like " will you PLEASE quit f-ing around and hand me my gd purse?!? This nice lady is trying to lower my interest rate, dumba**!!" Or I'll shout to some imaginary person in the room "Will you tell those dumb wetback landscapers to shut those gd mowers off? I'm on the phone!!" Then I get back on the phone with the scammer and act all nice and apologetic.  Hahaaaaaaa.... Usually the folks that call are not Caucasians, and they are highly offended by my use of slurs, but sometimes they don't react. Sometimes, I start to give them fake credit info, then stop mid sentence and say " I know you probably shouldn't be discussing this at work, but have you ever done any professional voice work?  You have the voice of an angel." Then I tell them I work at a recording studio in Orlando, and they should come audition. These people are nearly always calling from the Orlando area, so if  they take the bait, I give them the address of the Orange County sheriff's office. And they take the bait a lot, bc well, frankly they're just not all that bright, and they're desperately money hungry. I actually live 2500 miles away from Orlando, but I'd love to know if anybody actually ever went for an audition....LOL!!  

Oh, I also tell them I just got married and have a new hyphenated last name, and I give them the username listed above, and I spell it really fast. LOL I am giggling to myself thinking back to the people who tried to transcribe it. It was a MESS.

Also, in order to get off the phone with them without breaking character, I have a fire alarm sound effect that I blast right before I give them the last couple digits of the credit card and say "Omg, some idiot pulled the fire alarm again!! Listen I have to go but call me back in like 10 mins..."

I don't believe you.

I DO NOT BELIEVE  YOU KIM..YOU ARE IN FACT INVOLVED IN THIS AS I SEE THAT YOU HAVE A CRIMINAL CHARGE PENDING AGAINST YOU.  IF YOU KEEP CALLING ME AND MY FAMILY TRYING TO STEAL FROM ME YOU ARE NOT GOING TO JUST SUFFER IN THE AFTERLIFE AND THE PERSON WHO CAME TO YOUR HOUSE IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT A PIECE OF YOU THEY JUST DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT I DO.  I PROMISE YOU IF YOU KEEP CALLING ME I WILL BE PAYING YOU AND YOUR SON A LITTLE VISIT....AND YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT.  YOU BETTER STOP OR I AM COMING FOR YOU.  

OH BTW..IM THE ONE WHO PRETENDS TO BE A PEDOPHILE WHEN YOUR SERVICE CALLS ME AND YOU MAY WANT TO CHANGE THE PRERECORDED GUYS VOICES NAME FROM BARBARA TO A REAL MANS NAME

LOVE

nuisance call

Wendy called me and asked if I would like to have some fun tonight.

Scammers phishing for your credit card information.  Spoof different numbers all day long. They call at least once a day.  I'm to the point I reject the calls every time.  If you make the mistake of answering and pressing 1 after the automated message, they WILL continue to call.  Every effort to get them to stop will not work: asking to be removed from the list, telling them you do not have a credit card, asking to speak to a supervisor, asking for a number to call them back.  Any questions you pose will result in them hanging up on you.

Keeps calling over and over...

I have been repeatedly called by the phone number 620-504-7452.  When I have asked what credit card they are calling in regards to they hang up on me.  When I call back I get a message that this is an allocated number. They will not give me their company name or what card they are supposedly calling in reference to.

Never put these trolls on speakerphone if you can help it.

I like to sing to them. Today I sang "if you suck and you know it keep calling me" to the tune of if you're happy and you know it. The guy, while on speaker phone with my little kids in the room, began telling me to f*** off and all other sorts of profane words. And proceeded to threaten me because he knew what city I lived in. Why can't we do something about this?

Spam calls to my cell

I found a way to take care of this.  

These idiots called me at 1026 hours & I simply pushed the button to end call then turned off my cell phone for awhile. Why can't these losers be stopped & jailed?  I am DO NOT CALL list.  These pieces of trash who keep calling need to be arrested alone for harassment.  Enough of these losers & to those who are working with this trash in scamming, get yourselves a job that's more honorable at McDonald's or Wendy's & by the way, STAY AWAY FROM MY PHONE NUMBER!!!!!!!!

Just got a call from this same number for like the 10th time! I am so sick of these scam calls.

These people keep calling me.  I am not answering the phone.  I am on the do not call list.  Please turn them in.

Just received a call from this number for like the 10th time! I get them ALL the time. Almost every day and I HATE them. I answered this time but I hear nothing and then the call just ends. But I know it is scammers.

When are they going to make it illegal for robo dialers to cost me money on my phone that I pay for for my convenience?

Called my wife's cell phone. This number was already on the cell phone's auto reject list but apparently the ATT auto reject feature doesn't work. These scum bags are getting very resourceful.

Thanks for the great Idea - I have the time and I WILL waste their time!

Pesty caller

Doesn't work. I did that and they called even more often.

i tried this and it has not worked and i am on the do not call list. by law if you say this to them and they keep calling and you are on the do not call list you are able to take legal action at $500 per phone call there after. but i mean honestly who has the time.

If you are looking for a shoulder to cry on or looking for some measure of sympathy, you're looking in the wrong place.  You've dug the hole you're in and I find it impossible to feel anything other than complete disgust with you.  The only thing you accomplished with your rambling, incoherent post was to reenforce our dislike for you.  I hope that your prosecution by the government will be the one thing that they can do right and that they are able to put you away long enough for you to get it through your thick skull that you've been a veeeery naughty little girl.  Feel free to post the progress your case is making because we'll all be rooting the prosecution on.

UNWANTED TELEMARKETER

just got one also. she could (haven't yet seen the court/arrest details) just be this operation's expendable player, and sometimes org crime figures will take a fall for their team if they can't get out of it in court.
.

It's great to see all this related info about the scammers you've gathered and to know some of how it was attained.

It's almost certain these calls are part of some modern organized crime scheme (well, it's that on the face of it) connected to - or worse - directly some parties within 'above the law' agencies.


Have you shared your great collection of info with any legal agencies who could so something if they chose to?.

thanks!  will look into if can do it on my phone/provider
