Unknown Caller, Blocked Number, Idiot Scammer

Me: “Good morning, [Office].”

Caller: “Good morning! This is [Caller] with customer service, and I’m calling in regards to your copier!”

The office did get a new copier a few months ago. However, we are often in contact with the business, and we have a specific customer representative who works with us, and his name is not [Caller].

Me: “Okay…”

Guy: “Yes, we need the make and model of your copier so that we can send you an updated invoice!”

Me: “So, you’re with [Copier Business]?”

Guy: “Yes.”

I glance at my caller ID.

Me: “Then why does my caller ID show you as ‘Unknown Caller, Blocked Number’?”

There was an indrawn breath on the other line and then he hung up.
