Then I become steadily more abusive when the insist they don't want to buy it. I even try to get their bank account number off them - just one dollar, I'll take it out myself, you don't have to do anything LOL
Was that you calling the other day. I got a phone call on my cell phone and it was some female sounding person, speaking some Asian language, maybe Chinese but it could have been Korean or something else.

One of my friends has his Hillbilly-speak down pat and will just talk like the Beverly Hillbillies intimating someone from the deep south.

I had the call not too long ago that my Microsoft license had expired and they were calling to help me out. I was not busy so I kept him on the line for 15 minutes and was having real issue finding the files he want to know about and never could get his file to download since I had no intention of going to his web site. He finally called me a bunch of names as I called him a thief. He hung up.

Haha.

I was most offended a while ago as well. I feel it's polite to speak to other people in their own language where ever possible, and I was speaking to this chap in my Chinese and he called me a c*** and hung up. No manners LOL

I love the hindi swear words. I got one ******* a few weeks ago that made fun of me for only knowing a couple hindi swear words. I ended up roasting india until he hung up.

I take one of these now and then if I am in the right mood.

Guys, I just go off on. Call them scammers, tell them they deserve death; that sort of thing.

If it's a woman, I tell her she sounds very hot. If she doesn't hang up, I begin to tell her, in very graphic terms, what I would like to do to her. Click! Not sure what I would do if one responded in kind

I have played their game and sounded concerned. When it comes time to give my credit card # I give a number that starts with a 2 and has a lot of zeros. Make sure it only has 12-13 digits as well. They will ask me to repeat the # a few times before they realize they are being played and then they curse and hang up. Most times I just don't pick up the phone if I don't recognize the @.

Let this be a lesson to all scammers! Never f'k with a self employed person who is bored.
