Got a call about my SS number today!

OMG they're cancelling my Social Security number because of potential fraud!! I called the number immediately as instructed, expressed my concerns and asked where the nearest office was to address this problem. Two "agents" hung up on me and the third told me to go "f" myself... LOL. I called back 10 more times hoping to tie up a line and will continue to call them throughout the day until they deactivate the number.

Anyone else who enjoys f'ing with scammers the number is 419-558-3719

I usually like to string them along for a while and then say, "I'm going to sneak into your house at night and slit your throat while you're sleeping."

It's the element of surprise that you want to go for, after playing dumb for a while.

My wife won't let me use her phone to call the number back. She's no fun.

I just called (from work),and left my phone off the hook so they could hear me typing this response. I can hear someone saying "hello", hello? while I am typing.

I called again, and tapped on the mouth piece while they were saying hello.

"Oh hello there(very sweetly). Just a minute, there is someone at the door"

Play 14.4k dial up sound or some kickin trash

(low voice warbling as if encrypted) "Enter ID now" "This is a class 3 number. Do not call back. You have been warned"

(Studering old man) "Well my wife usually takes care of these things but I would like to help. Flies are all over me. Can you get rid of them?"

For a while people in this area were getting a call that they had hacked your computer, and turned on the camera, and recorded me masturbating to porn. If I did not send them money they were going to release the video.

1. My computer does not have a video camera.
2. I don't watch porn.
3. I have a good firewall and my computer is up to date, and protected.

So I called them back, and told him to be sure to release the video right away, as it would boost my rating as I was a major porn star stud trying to be more famous that John Holmes or Ron Jeremy. He hung up on me.

Have you never heard the phrase "Happy Wife, Happy Life"

Some things are just not worth making a wife mad.

If they sound like they are in India or Pakistan, just repeat after me.

I think they have black listed me.

I used to practice my improvised Chinese language with them. I got to be quite good.

Another one I do is start of by saying thanks for calling, I've been wanting to talk to you, I've got this life insurance for you to buy. 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
