I remember the good old days when scammers would give you an 800 number to call. I would write it down and the next time I was at the mall I would go to the row of pay phones (remember those, kids?) and dial the number on each one and leave the phone off the hook. It would cost me nothing and the scammer would not only have to pay for the call but they would have to pay a surcharge to reimburse the pay phone owner.

It was a small victory, but it cost them real money and time.

The latest scam I've gotten a few calls from is someone wanting to pray for me. I bet it will cost a few bucks to get those prayers actually said.

A little off topic but it’s fun to hand a phone with a salesman on the line to a two-year-old.

When I get a voicemail from the IRS threatening me with arrest if I don’t call them back, they get a call from an anxious Nigel Tufnel or Graham Chapman, Esq. wanting to make a payment. When they ask for an address I give them 1060 W. Addison St in Chicago. I hang up right when they ask for a credit card number. Again, every moment they waste on me is a moment they can’t prey on some poor soul.
