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