He’s Here To Listen… And Listen… And Listen…
(I recently discovered a paid service that allows people to redirect scam calls to an AI. The AI has pre-recorded conversations designed to keep the callers tied up as long as possible, costing them money, too. Eventually the callers figure it out, though; one even accused them of answering with a soundboard. While I don’t feel like affording that service at the moment, the soundboard accusation gave me an idea, one I finally got to use today. The area code is mine, but for a city I’ve never lived in, so I know all calls from that code are scams. Plus, it also isn’t anywhere near where the caller claims to be from, either.)
Credit Services Scammer: “Hello! Are you interested in reducing your debt?”
Dr. Phil Soundboard: “Hello?”
Credit Services Scammer: “Yes, hello! Are you interested in reducing your debt?”
Dr. Phil Soundboard: “Where you from?”
Credit Services Scammer: “I’m calling from Atlanta.”
Dr. Phil Soundboard: “What do you want from me today?”
Credit Services Scammer: “F*** off!” *click*
(Ah, at last these spam calls can be fun!)
