I love this guy's account of turning the annoyance around. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:



Brian: Hello?

Scammer: Hello may I speak to name indistinguishable please?

Brian: This is he, how can I help you?

Scammer: Hello, name indistinguishable, my name is Richard and I am pleased to inform you that you have pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: $1500, huh? That's incredible!

Richard: Yes! Now in order to get your money I'm going to need to get some information from you.

Brian: Ummm. Hello? Can you hear me?

Richard: Yes, I am here.

Brian: Why are you calling?

Richard: I am calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: Hello?

Richard: I am calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: You want to give me $1500?

Richard: No, I am calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: Potato.

Richard: Excuse me? I am calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: I really like potatoes, how about you?

Richard: I'm sorry, I don't understand. I'm calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: I don't think that $1500 is enough money, I need more than that.

Richard: Pardon?

Brian: $1500 is not a substantial enough amount of money; I need way more than that.

Richard: How much?

Brian: At least twelve million dollars.

Richard: ...

Brian: Yes, definitely twelve million dollars.

Richard: I am calling to inform you that you have been pre-approved for a loan in the amount of $1500.

Brian: That's a step in the right direction, Richard, but I'm going to need twelve million dollars. I won't accept a penny less.

Richard: Can you hold please?

Phone: insanely atrocious and loud hold music

Phone: different equally atrocious hold music at a lower volume

Supervisor: Hello, I am Richard's supervisor, you've been pre-approved for a $1500 loan.

Brian: This isn't Richard?

Supervisor: No, I am Richard's supervisor.

Brian: Oh my goodness, where did Richard go?

Supervisor: Richard had to go deal with other business.

Brian: I'm a little worried, Richard sounded like he was distracted. Is everything all right with Richard?

Supervisor: Richard is quite fine, you've been pre-approved for a $1500 loan.

Brian: I'm disappointed that Richard didn't tell you.

Supervisor: Tell me what?

Brian: $1500 isn't enough. I need 12 million dollars.

Supervisor: But you've only been pre-approved for a $1500 loan.

Brian: I understand, but I need at least 12 million dollars to be interested.

Supervisor: We only do $1500 loans.

Brian: I understand. I'm not trying to be difficult I can work within your framework.

Supervisor: Good, so you'll be interested in the $1500 loan?

Brian: Yes, I will need eight thousand of them.

Supervisor: What?

Brian: Eight thousand.

Supervisor: I don't understand.

Brian: Eight thousand different $1500 loans. That way I can get 12 million dollars that I need.

Supervisor: Where do want this from?

Brian: What do you mean?

Supervisor: The twelve million dollars, I suppose you want it from my wallet?

Brian: Holy cow, you have twelve million dollars?!

Supervisor: ...

Brian: That's awesome, do you want to send it to me via wire transfer?

Supervisor: Why are you doing this?

Brian: Doing what?

Supervisor: (angrily) We don't waste your time, why do you waste our time? You don't want to talk to us then just hang up! click

How I Fought Back Against the Unrelenting Telemarketer
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.
