Just got a call this morning, they're pretending to be a travel agency this time around, the grift is they say you have unused vacation time/that you're a preferred customer and you only need to cover a small booking fee.
I've never used a travel agency in my life.
I mess with phone scammers until they dont call me anymore. Usually turns sexual for some reason...They threaten to do things to me or my mother that I cant say here.
Kek. Me and a buddy will do this. My goodness the things that get said. We are ruthless, we'll keep calling them back until they block OUR numbers.
Haha. Great idea.
Thats big dick energy there. Well done.
Same. And email scammers and text scammers, too. Yesterday, I got another fake USPS text claiming my package was stuck in a warehouse and couldn't be delivered. I texted back, "That's okay; just keep it. And if you feel funny after opening it, then just wait for my next package to arrive at your warehouse. It has the antidote."
Oh goodness, that's hilarious.
Funny, however they don't even read replies, they are just phishing links they mass text out.
You might be surprised. I've gotten some rude replies.
I'll start replying and see what I get
I mess with them too. One guy called me from New York. Said his name was Frank. I played along. Had him on speaker phone at work. I asked him if he could call me back on the work phone so my boss wouldn’t see me on my cell phone.
Gave him the number to the FBI. Within a minute he told me to suck his balls. Without batting an eye I said “oh yeah Frank, you would love that because I have big teeth and a small mouth.” Dead silence then Frank and a bunch of other men in the background started laughing. My coworkers started laughing. It was so funny. Love it.
I used to take the free postage return envelopes and tape them onto boxes full of garbage, used oil, chunks of tires, dogshit etc. and literally send them back a bunch of shit they didn't ask for on their dime. I never get junk mail with prepaid postage envelopes anymore. I always keep telemarketers and scammers on the phone as long as possible, I'm always hard of hearing and need them to repeat lots and can never remember where I put my wallet.
I do my civic duty with pride, you're welcome frens.
I absolutely toy with them to see how much absurdity they will take before hanging up
I always just speak gibberish until they hang up. They never call again kek
I never answer calls that I don't know let it go to voice mail.
Same and I don't have my voicemail set up. They have computers robodial numbers systematically and if they detect a human voice answer that number gets sold to others selling shit.
Scam calls? Answer them "911, whats your emergency?". You're removed from call list promptly.
Decades ago back when the spam calls were nonstop; I recorded the greeting on my answering machine in perfect Spanish.
All my friends and family were in on the joke, but the spammers assumed it was a Spanish speaking household and the calls quickly dropped off afterwards.
