A good one.

But the best ever is Tom Mabe's

"How to Deal With a Telemarketer."

[ObozoMustGo2012]

Go on youtube and search “This is Lenny”.

It’s a voice-responsive bot that keeps people and scammers on the phone FOREVER!!!

I love the one where the lady thanks the telemarketer for “contracting her consulting corporation...”

Hilarious. Always good to launch the weekend on a light note.

Thanks.

I always ask them for their nearest Western Union office and tell them to wait there until I get back from the bank and wire the money. Of course I have no clue if they do, but my local WU will not tell you over the phone if a money transfer has come through.

Be kind. Say “NO, thank you, “bye” and HANG UP! The telemarketer callers are
people just like me. They’re just trying to make a living
in most cases; don’t want to go on welfare. My cousin did it
for a very short time as she had lost her job in a factory.

I prefer to tell my 3 year old granddaughter that it is Santa Claus on the phone and then hand the phone to her...works like a charm.

“You’ll be in the bar for six months” LOL!!

That doesn’t sound so bad.

I once scammed a scammer. It was a guy in Nigeria posing as American white female model from Michigan. How unlikely is that?! I first established that “she’ new little about Michigan but I still played along. “She” proposed sending me money orders made out to “her” from “her” employer in Nigeria which, for some arcane reason, “she” could not cash. I was to cash them, take my share, and forward the rest of the money to “her.” I received the money orders which looked real and which were from an American company. I called the firm, furnished the numbers of the money orders, and was informed that they were numbers of money orders that were already cashed. I immediately notified the sender and told “her” to contact her employer immediately because they had paid her with counterfeit money orders! “She” was very unhappy to get the news!

My wife got a call from a “REPRESENTATIVE of the IRS” who told us we were facing fines and jail time for a “violation of the tax code”. My wife kept this guy on the line for 30 minutes feigning concern. When he asked for payment, she said all we had was cash. She also said she was an invalid who was house bound. She asked him over and over again for the address where she could send the cash. He was stumped and put his supervisor on who said the police would be there in 45 minutes to arrest her if she did not wire them the money. My wife started to pretend cry. She then said she was going to call our son “who works for the FBI” to help straighten this out.

They finally hung up.

I get Jennifer from card services 3-5 times a week, always from a different number. Since I sometimes get call-out-of-the-blue referrals from past clients I have to answer most cell calls. Most of the robocalls will hang up if you pick up but don’t say anything; sweet lil’ recorded Jennifer ain’t one of ‘em.

Dude!... I hate you for posting this!... I’ve been watching videos on this all morning cause of you!... lol...

This guy actually tricks the scammer into bricking his own computer... Hilarious!!
