If I asked you what the number 1 scam in America is right now, you might say phishing email scams, Facebook scams, Nigerian 419 scams, sweetheart scams or any number of other...

I prefer playing with them myself. They are basically working on a commission type of thing so the longer you can keep them on the phone the more money they are losing. I also find it fun to put them on speakerphone and record the conversation and then toss it up on social media to share the laughs.

I think y best yet was the evening one called with a heavy Indian accent and I kept pushing numbers on the phone. He asked me if I was doing that and I said yeah I was trying to figure out which button to press to get English. Converation went downhill after that ;)

When I get calls claiming I won a free Disneyland Vacation,Cruise or whatever,I tell them its not for me.They ask why and I tell them I have a Criminal Record and can't cross the Border.It ends right there and then.
However I was had on the Internet about 6 Months ago.Some pop up window saying that Apple were giving away Iphones with this draw to promote there Product.You had people testifying they won an Iphone with this $1 dollar draw from Apple.(I had a few drinks before)
Anyhow,I said what the hell,its only a buck so I entered my Credit card no.Well within all the Iphone draw rules and regulation that I agreed to in small writing that I did not take the time reading,there was also a Subscription to an overseas Music Company.They started ripping money left and right from my Credit card.Cancelled the card and managed to get some money back with Credit Card Help.Now i don't drink and buy anymore!
By the way i don't have a Criminal record for those wondering.lol

Now THAT'S funny!

I always ask them if I can think it over.I then ask for their home number so I can call them later with my decision.You know how that ends up...lol

If it looks or sounds to good to be true it probably is a scam.
I just leave them talking to themselves and walk away.

When I look at the caller id and it's not a local number, I don't say hello when I answer, I answer like this,
=County Morgue, you Kill em we chill em= they never say a word, they just hang up, I don't know why, LOL.

I put my number on the do not call list. That eliminates most of them. If that doesn't work I have google voice numbers that I can manually go in and block certain numbers and I believe there is a prompt that says its disconnected.
