This is an important post! People need to know about these scams. The government isn’t doing near enough to alert the public, in my opinion.

I guess I’m in the minority here. But I rather enjoy taking these scam calls, as evil as they are.

I’m always very polite with these scammers. Always! And I answer all their questions. Yet they inevitably get angry with me, and end up disconnecting the call. I wonder why. Maybe that’s because I only speak to them in Hungarian - an obscure language I’m quite good at.

I suppose I’ll be bested the day a Hungarian scammer calls me. But that hasn’t happened yet.

What makes you think the government isn't part of them? Data mining for operating funds is a lot easier than the old days when drug running, weapons sales, and drug production was how the CIA ran programs! Benghazi....Contras.....

Our banking systems software even provides databases of the best targets. In a way, the hackers are government contractors. Why do you think they are never pursued and prosecuted? Ever... Yet they will find anyone at any cost for reading a verse from the Bible in front of an abortion clinic.

“But I rather enjoy taking these scam calls, as evil as they are.”

I have fun messing with them, too. I figure that if I’m occupying their time, then someone who’s vulnerable isn’t being targeted. (That’s how Mom handled Jehovah’s Witnesses when they came to the door. They always got coffee and donuts.)
