I just can't understand why some people are so nasty these days.  |
I like telling them that I'll send the money. Then I hang up and do nothing. If they call back, I tell them that I sent the money somewhere else by mistake. If you're good, you can try to tease out some geographic clues so that you can have them driving all over the place trying to collect the money you never sent.
