Screwing with Indian Scammers

[jeff of pa]

ring- Ring

Me : Hello !

Scammer : Hello I need to talk to the Person in charge of the Electric ?

Me : No one charges Electric Here, It magically Flows through the Walls Here.
Pretty soon we will have cars that do that here.

scammer quietly hung up

 

[tamrock]

Yeah. May I speak to the head of the household they start out with and I always say, she's unavailable. good bye.

 

[jeff of pa]

I used to just Mumble Like I had a Mouth Full of food & Ask who ?....... Where ?.........
How ?...... What ?...... till they hung up.

They all have a Tell, Some have Thick Indian Voices
not all, But when ever I say Hello it's Silence for 2 seconds or so.

Then all of a Sudden it sounds like someone at the other End
picked up a Receiver or Dropped a Coin in the Meter

(Automatic Dialer}if someone answers they Jump on.

I suppose some could be legit, as some companies use off shore answering services, but can these off shore workers be trustworthy not to have side businesses as scammers ?
I prefer to make the call , Not receive the call I didn't ask for

I get them a lot. Got a call from someone that wanted to buy land from me in Tenn. The call went something like this. Hallo do I own land Tenn. I said no and whom I’m speaking to. This is Bobby from real-estate investment firm. This guy had a really thick accent. And how many Indians do you know if hat are named Bobby. I Just hung up on them. Sometimes if I had a couple beers I’ll mess with them lol tees them off.

probably went something like you Should Own land there
it will Quadruple in Value & He just happens to know someone Selling some if you want to invest

for $250,000 You could become a Millionaire

Ha Ha that would be something they would say I believe. I would really mess with their head on that one.

 

[jeff of pa]

yep odds are he accidently hit the wrong number and called you, and you seem like an Upstanding Fella he could cut in and how long would it take for you to wire him some money to add to the Kitty

 

[hollARDog]

I like talking like them,doesn't take long for them to hang up🤘

Indian Voice: Hello, am I speaking to the householder?

Me: Thanks for the call-back. Could I order a chicken tikka masala, a tandoori mixed grill, two pilau rice, a peshwari naan and half a dozen poppadoms?

Indian Voice: I was actually calling about...

Me [talking over the top of whatever he's saying]: Do you still have the free Cobra beer offer if I spend more than £25 because that was a great deal?

Thereafter, every time he tries to say something, I talk over the top of what he's saying with long rambling questions like "is the tikka masala very hot, because I don't like it too spicy and it creates havoc with the wife's bowels if there's too much chilli?" and "do the poppadums come with mango chutney or do I need to order that separately, but no lime pickle please because that's really hot and sour?"

I have even more fun with people telling me my internet security has been compromised or that there has been a suspicious transaction on my Amazon Prime account.

We just lift the receiver, listen, if it disconnects in 10 seconds we know it was them.
If we hear something else like a hello? We respond
My personal phone usually takes care of the spam callers.

I sometimes use the Homer Simpson techniques....

"You'll have to speak up... I'm wearing a towel (or standing next to some fruit)".

Lmao, guess I missed that episode 🤣

 

[tamrock]

I like the ones that call to tell me I've been selected from a special group of people who will receive an outstanding offer to buy into something only a few privileged folks will ever have an opportunity to receive. After they tell me all about it and I've been responding with Yeah, Really, Wow and that sounds GREAT!, they'll say, so now that you've heard it all, what do you think? I just say, I think you think I'm an idiot and wait for there reply. It takes the wind right outta their sail.

Red-coat Encyclopedia strikes again🤣😂🤣😂🤘

 

[jeff of pa]

that probably doesn't phase indians

 

[unclemac]

I answer every phone call in Russian, I will even wait for the robo-calls to pick up the line, I continue in Russian until they hang up.... Everyone I care about is passed on so I don't worry about missing a call.
