      The guy who did this video is hysterical. I've watched a few of his videos on dealing with these scammers. He pranks them to no end! The cool thing is, if you tie them up on the phone long enough, it's less time they have to spend scamming other people.

      The funny thing is, those scammers are so desperate to steal your money that they end up being stupid and falling for the scams themselves!

          Yep, the little devils just called me again last week. I just usually laugh at them and hang up. Not to worry, they'll be calling again soon. I can't speak Klingon, but might make some attempt at it when they call again.

          Lately, some robot named "Bridget" keeps calling me and wanting to talk about my credit card.

                    WOW! I liked it better when I was young, and things were based more on a meritocracy. I learned American English, and some British English, and if someone hadn't been in the US for a while, I could tell. If someone hadn't been speaking a legitimate English dialect(New zealand, Britian, US, Canada, etc...), I could tell. And based on THAT ALONE, I could tell the legitimacy of a call such as this.

                    NOW, with the PC, etc... THEY DON'T CARE if someone can speak proper english! But it is ILLEGAL for bill collectors to threaten you in such a way. You can NOT bring any police into such a case unless it is LEGITIMATE! Unsecured debt is NOT considered legitimate unless there is a JUDGEMENT! The JUDGEMENT must be made in a COURT by a judge. When he says COAT, he apparently means COURT. So he is putting the CART before the horse! And that green dot deal sounds very phony ALSO, ESPECIALLY if you have less than an hour(after the call and getting ready and all, the 2 hours is nearly GONE)! As for the WIFE? SOMETIMES VOICE made sense but OTHER times, WHO KNOWS!?!?!?

                    ME? Maybe I would start trying to get him to start saying weirder words, and maybe speak a few other languages to him. EVENTUALLY, maybe I might tell him I never bothered to learn EINGLISH!(misspelling done on purpose, and pronounced as written.)

                    BTW is it chris towper or christopher?

                      LOL I thought that was funny, how the guy spelled out "Christopher" the way the scammer was pronouncing it. Chris Tow Pher.

                      We get those calls here once in a while and they have a hard time with our last name - Musselman. They usually pronounce it "Moo Sell Min" and they vary which syllable gets the emphasis.

    OK, QUICK QUESTION! It sounds like a dumb one! READY?

    WHO is the prankster making fun of?
    1. "support"?
    2. "the average user"?
    3. BOTH?

    All I can think of is how much this speaks to so much of the business industry - do whatever it takes to make a sale and make money.

    Right after I read this thread the phone rang. Didn't recognize the number so I figured it was a bill collector and mentally prepared a list of lies I could tell them.

    Surprise! Surprise!

    It was a scamer wanting to sell me prescription drugs. Decided to see how long I could keep him on the phone and have a little fun in the process. You should have heard all the "Boiler Room" noise in the background. The first guy lasted about 2 minutes before getting the "closer" on the line who wanted me to send him $250.00 through Western Union.

    Kept the closer on the line for about 7 minutes and he finally got tired of me asking him stupid questions. Had him getting madder and madder. My day has been made.
