This is one kinda disco stampede you don't wanna be around for!

I get enough scam phone calls form India that I have no desire to initiate any communication with them.

I had Sally from Microsoft really going until he swore at me and hanged up.

It's just a matter of time till they learn how to do the Hustle then the party lights will be flashing......

John of Microsoft always was the one to call me. I got a call form IRS saying if I did not send money they would “send local Cops to arrest me.” I wanted to hit the #67 and say “Operator trace this call” but most calls are recorded.

I love leading them on. And tough if they can’t take a joke; it is they who are calling at 2am to tell me my PC has been hacked or something. As for the IRS, I’d tell them to “bring it on” - my caller ID always states: Unknown Caller

I pissed off one telemarketer so much that after he slammed down the phone (metaphorically speaking), he called me back to cuss me out!

Give them the name and address of someone who’s been really mean to you. My grandad told me the way they got even when he was young was to put their names on the Montgomery Ward and Radio Shack mailing list.

I believe in karma in a way people can be rewarded in one way or other - also - not to do evil that good might come.

My father-in-law (RIP) used to answer the phone, and upon hearing some sales pitch would hold the phone over the toilet bowl while it is flushing. He would then hang up.

"...hold the phone over the toilet bowl while it is flushing"

I hold the phone next to my stereo speaker and treat them to a few minutes of Jimi, The Doors, maybe some Traffic.

Granma used to talk Yiddish to them; me, if I’m in the mood, would lead them on for a bit.
