How this morning's 9:15 robo-scam call went:

[Big Boomer]

Caller # I could not identify: 684-305-3108. I picked up the phone & said: "FBI Field Office. This is Jackson. How may I help you?" No response. End of call. My assumption was that robo-scam calls were not monitored but apparently I was wrong. Went into the bedroom and my wife had her hands on her knees, laughing so hard. Area code 684 is American Samoa. Big Boomer


P. S. Well, it happened again this afternoon at about 2:15 p. m. Same as above spoken and again, no response, end of call. Apparently no one wants to talk to anyone from the "FBI Field Office."

now that is funny as hell

[Hickory]

Good one!

[Budzilla 19]

Yeah, I’m going to use that one!! Another good one is; “ hey, man, ( in a whisper, of course) you got your guys ready?? Good, hang tight, Team 1 is coming to your location, now.” Gets a fast hang up every time.

[Sig556r]

Good one, I'll definitely try that one next time which is pretty soon

[Wag]

One of my favorites of all time!

My 20-something niece answers those calls in a 'little girl' voice, and will tell the caller 'Mom is in the bedroom with Daddy, making me a baby brother', or announcing that if 'I am good, I get big-girl panties with hearts on them. Do YOU!? have panties with hearts on them???'

[RED BEAR]

I like that one must try it.

[Finster101]

I like that one must try it.


Not panties with hearts I hope. BUT, it might work!

[Rooster]

Mine is "(local county sheriff office) Frauds division Lt. Stedinko speaking"

[Hardcast416taylor]

`Sheriffs office, how may I direct your call?`Robert

[chuckbuster]

“CIA-LANGLEY, are calling for Mr. Smith, or Mr. Smith?”

[LUCKYDAWG13]

When I get those scam calls I just whisper in the phone it's Done blood everywhere and hang up

[Texas by God]

"Chicken Ranch- looking for your mom?"

The last few I got I answered I let them make the spill about lowering my interest rate or selling me a medical brace. I inform them this is my daughters phone then in a angry voice and ask the caller "are the *#!*$#&% pervert that keeps texting pics of your junk".

[DocSavage]

I like the old Hee Haw line "Emptyarms Hotel" of from the radio show Duffy's Tavern "Duffy's tavern where the elite meet to eat,Durry ain't here".

[waksupi]

I just had one call. I told him that his mom wanted him to come pick her up. He went to totally offended immediately.

[FISH4BUGS]

I got one this morning on my cell speaking what I would guess is Chinese. Just for the hell of it I pressed 1. Got connected to another person that spoke Chinese. I was responding in a gibberish made up language and we tried to communicate for a few minutes. He finally asked "do you speak English" and I said yes, then I said !...and hung up.
These things drive me wild.

[clintsfolly]

For years I would get calls looking for Debbie! Till the day I told them she was in jail. They wanted to know for what? Prostitution! I replied never heard from Debbie’s friend again.

[bob208]

in a low voice Juan the dope is in the chevy man.

[Frosty Boolit]

I usually place an order for my favorite pizza pie

[Randy in Arizona]

Years ago I got a new to me phone number.
I hesitate to guess the profession of the last 'lady' to have that number but she frequently got late night calls from drunken men.[smilie=1:
Ma Bell would not change the number and this predated caller ID & even touch tone dialing. (IIRC)

Heard that one many times and it always cracks me up.

[jonp]

Funny but no cop would speak like that

[Big Tom]

"Two Hamburger, large fries, coke no ice and make sure the tomato slices are even" when I'm in a very good mood. Can't post the other ones here without getting banned.

[Prairie Cowboy]

One time I got a guy who paused after launching into his spiel and I pounced.

"What color underwear are you wearing?"
"Are you the one whose sister is a hooker?"
"Do you still sell drugs?"

He hung up. :confused:

[MstrEddy]

I've gotten a few that when I'm in the right mood, bored, time to waste, I'll answer, and then string them along for as long as possible. I let them start their spiel, let them go on, ask for clarification, ask again, ask them to give me a few seconds as I have to do something, etc... all designed to keep them on the line for as long as I can make it. Eventually, they tire of it and hang up. Other times, when they talk about me sending money - I tell them - great, send me the money. Wait, you're calling me, then you want to give me money?
And then sometimes I go totally NOT politically correct and make up an accent to match theirs.
One time I got the "gentleman" so upset he started cussing me out -- I thought it was hilarious as he is testing all his new-found English slang bad words on me. Oh, that's a good one. Can you spell it?

I'm hoping to one day get a call on my cell while I'm at the range. My thought is to step out where the noise is much less, whisper or speak softly so they have to turn their volume way up, then step back in the range and fire off a round or two next to the phone.
Maybe I'm a bit evil?

Any danger of damaging the phone if you do that??

[waksupi]

I tried a new approach yesterday. Telemarketer called, asked them to call back on my other line, because my battery was about dead. Gave them the sheriff's office number. I'll have to ask dispatch of he called them.

[joe leadslinger]

When I get those calls if I have the time, string them along, or just tell them I died last week. [smilie=p:

[Conditor22]

If I don't recognize the caller I answer in Thai. Only people that know me or need to get to me will ask somewhat hesitantly if I'm here. Solicitors will hang up.
