Lately i've been watching the shit out of these videos where people who receive these BS calls enact some form of revenge and then embarrass them online. I dare say, it's almost like watching porn. I base my reaction on their level of honestly. For instance, if it's someone just trying to sell their shit with no real malice i'll just hang up on them. But like if I get someone who is going to spam me with emails after getting my info who has no real motive of providing something i'll be like "Why are you trying to scam me fucker?" Then they'll usually hang up after. Seeing as i'm usually caught off guard by them I haven't really done anything to clever. I've been getting a lot of calls lately so my responses made get a bit edgier. Do you take the high road or do you freak these soulless monsters tf out?
Well the way my phone calls usually goes with them is: Me: hello? Them: good morning/afternoon/evening sir I'm calling from *insert bs here* and we have found *insert bs about irs, Microsoft etc* Me: okay before we start can I ask you a question? Them: yes? Me : do you believe in God? Every person I've asked this to has said yes. Them: yes I do Me: How do you think God feels that you're scamming people out of money? Them: *click* That's all I do.
If I don't know your number I don't answer your call. They rarely will leave voicemails. I got a voicemail in Chinese or some shit the other day lol.
Yeah hanging up is probably the most mature way to handle it but anyone like to screw with them lmao?
Play along ask a ton of questions act excited then when it’s time to pay I hang up when they call back I act like the previous conversation never happened n say I’m not interested. I got way more time than them
For the most part the ones I get are from India. So my friend in India taught me how to curse at them in Hindi lol.
I don't answer numbers in don't recognize. But I watch those kinds of videos. This guy has some great ones on his channel.
I answer the phone then talk to them for a good half hour or more to get them going then tell I'm I'm just kidding & put the phone down lmao I once spoke to some chick for a good hour about having an accident then at the end I said " I was also drunk at the time can I still claim???" She put the phone down
usually hang up after i realize. i hate when my dad entertains it and is on the phone with them for like 20 min
Sometimes for the hell of it, if the number is blocked. I'll answer the phone to the tune of. Hello. This is the FBI Criminal Investigative Branch. May I help you? Or IRS Fraud Division. May I help you?
I don't answer unknown numbers. Anyone who calls me must know my number and, have to be in my contacts for me to answer.
Best way to do it. I stopped using Facebook years ago too that also prevented a lot of spam and, drama. Now anyone who's close me must either call, text, or use snapchat. I don't like Mark Zuckerberg's freaky ass owning the info he already does. I ain't givin that robot lookin ass face no more info.
Answer all unknown numbers like this: ” Good morning/afternoon/evening. This is the Sherrifs Department Fraud Division. How can we assist you ? Please start with your name and contact info.” Just know that it does work.
