Like The Steve Rogers Of Scammers, She Can Do This All Day
I was driving along the motorway and my phone was connected via Bluetooth so I could be completely hands-free except for the button on the steering wheel to disconnect the call.
I get one of those invest-your-money-with-us-thieves calls as I’ve just joined the motorway. I do the usual who’s-calling-please, no-thank-you-not-interested stuff, after which my usual technique is to block the number on the phone. But as I’m driving, I can’t do that; I don’t know of a voice command to block a number.
A few seconds later, she calls again.
Me: “Nope, still not interested.” *Click*
Again.
Me: “Nope. F*** off.” Click*
Again.
Me: “F*** off.” Click*
Again.
Me: “F*** off and die, c***.” *Click*
And again and again and again.
Eventually, I am amused enough to let her say something before telling her to f*** off.
Caller: “Do you want to do this all day?”
Me: “Yep. F*** off.”
She still doesn’t get the message.
Eventually, we have done about twenty or thirty rounds of this.
Me: “It’s your time you’re wasting here, not mine; I’m still driving.”
That was when she finally understood that she was not going to get anywhere with me.
At the next service station, I parked and blocked the number in case she decided to play the game again.
