There is no ignoring the Nick Cage Wrecking Ball.

Edit: Also, here is the last phone call I literally just had:

 

"Is dis Padrick?"
"Uhm, who is this?"
"Dis is First Financial calling for Padrick. Hello, Padrick. We are calling because you still owe over $10,000 on your credit card?"
"What?"
"You owe $10,000, on your credit card."
"I don't even have a credit card so..."
*Boop*

(They hung up on me, surprisingly.)

Bloody scammers and telemarketers...

It was hard to understand him. Accent + Bad cell phone speaker + Bad service + background noises in my house. But it made me laugh. :laugh:

We get the occasional telemarketer call us. Most of the time, we devise a plan to annoy them. One time, I started talking in the most slurred speech possible, like I was far too drunk. That was pretty good, they just hung up. Other times I'd yawn really loudly into the phone, blocking out what they are saying then asking them to repeat what they just said, only to yawn again. Or, you can just repeat everything they say back to them. They love that.

 

Sometimes, if I'm feeling particularly crazy, I make random noises, such as mooing.

I just ignore 1800 numbers thanks to caller id, but we had some tech company that wasn't a 1800 number that got away that had the audacity to call me. Sneaky dirtbags claiming your windows is out of date, and also claiming that i had a virus. I gave'm a one for and nearly lost it.

 

They hung up soon after, that'll teach them to never mess with a it person. Scum they are. I accused them of spying at one point, how on earth would they know lol. Noobs.

I've set the phone down once while a telemarketer was still talking to me, the phone call lasted another three minutes. :laugh:

And Thor, I normally ignore those numbers too, but this wasn't one (it was a somewhat local number) and since I never know if I'm getting a call about a job or not, I answer.

This is the kind of thing nightmares are made of.

I and others I know used to get these all the time, the trick is make them believe they are calling psychopaths by screaming down the phone, gibberish, singing to them, selling them insurance, mirroring, pretend to really stupid so even they get fed up, things like that :smile:

 

...not had one in a while :tongue:
