My friend Don loves to talk to people. He’ll keep them on the phone like a cat holds onto a mouse.
When I have time, that’s what I do. I talk them in circles. When they swear at me and hang up I know I have done my job. I haven’t gotten a scam call in ages. I do get scam emails and texts. I report them immediately. I make sure each scam email is forwarded to the company they are spoofing.
Personally, I would love to dispatch a team of mercenaries to exterminate their scam centers and all the people running the scams.
