OT: Phone Scams

[Combat Wombat]

Atrocities you always have the best stories.

[Iansidious]

Laugh out loud! Another great story by AT. Thanks, I needed a good laugh.

Devious Plan A:

1) Use a happy-excited tone of voice as soon as you realize what is going on.
2) Say "this phone isn't secure, let me call you back from my other phone"
3) If they give you a real number to phone, forward it to the authorities!

It wouldn't work; they'd trace the phone number to somewhere in Pakistan or Bangladesh.

GD IT! That is a good idea. Hell I wish I would have read this one before I told this Last caller that he and his family are a bunch of pork eating rag heads with bad teeth and defective sex drives. (Politly put)

No Need to Apologise or for politeness. When these idiots ring my house up I just quote "Firefly" or "Stargate" down the phone, one time When i had friends round we played the Rocky Horror Picture Show down the phone line, that was funny

"Sir, we are hear to tell you have just won £5,000 and...."
"This is a fertile land...We shall call it this Land"
"Uhmm...Excuse me Sir..."
"I'd Rather call it your grave..."
"But we're on the..."
"Ahh! Curse your Sudden but Inevitable Betrayal..."

There's nothing nicer than that Warm Fuzzy feeling of lighting up someone's day

[deccan]

There's one thing I never understand about these scams: how is it that letting people know your bank account info allow them to take money out from that account?

[Atrocities]

True, but I would rather be lighting up his *** with a flame thrower. Call it hand gun diplomacy.
