So every now and again I get strange 800 numbers calling my cell phone. I don’t answer them, and usually Google the number to see who it was. It turns out a lot of these numbers are confirmed scammers which I find discussions of online. I decided to answer one the other day and mess with him a little bit. Here is what transpired.
Middle Eastern Accent guy: Congratulations sir, you have been chosen to win a free 7 megapixel digital camera and 3 night vacation.
Me: Ok.
Guy: You can fly to your choice of
Me: Great!
Guy: Now please hold while I hand you off to my supervisor to get your information
(I can hear people talking in the background at this point.)
New Guy (also with a Middle Eastern accent): Hello sir, congratulations. Could I have your name please?
Me: Jerry.
Guy: (pauses, most likely confused because he expects me to say Andrew Martin) Jerry? Spell for me please?
Me: J-E-R-R-Y. Jerry.
Guy: G-E-R-I?
Me: Uh, yeah sure why not.
Guy: And your last name?
Me: Klausch. I then spell it for him. Totally random name I came up with.
Guy: Sir did you know you are one of six families to be chosen?
Me: Wow! That is…that is something!
Guy: Now in order for us to send you your pri

Guy: Ok sir please read to me your checking account number.
Me: Ok. 1…2…3…4…
Guy: *interrupts me* Please do not make fun with me ok? What is the number??
Me: Hey, I wasn’t finished you didn’t even let me finish!?
Guy: Ok, continue please.
Me: …5…6…7...8
Guy: *interrupts me again* Sir Do you have a check available? Just read for me all the numbers on the bottom of the check.
Me: (sounding clueless) All of the numbers?
Guy: All of them please, yes.
Me: (I pull out a check so I can give him the correct amount of numbers so he thinks it’s real). Ok, it says 1…2…3…4. Then there is a space…
Guy: Ok keep going.
Me: 5…6….7…8…9...1…0…1…1…1…2…1…3...1...4….Then there is another space and four more numbers. I think that’s the check number, do you want those numbers too?
Guy: Yes please.
Me: Ok they say 1234. (LOL)
Guy: Ok can you please tell me the name of your bank?
Me: Certainly. My bank is The First Bank of Bubkins. (Bubkins is a name Anna calls me, haha)
Guy: Bubkins? Can you spell that?
Me: *spells bubkins*
Guy: First Bank of Bubkins. Ok. And where is your bank located?
Me: It’s in …..
Guy:
Me: SURE I CAN!
*2 minutes go by*
Guy: *in an angry tone* Please do not make fun with me anymore.
Me: This entire time we have been on the line we were tracing your call. I am (I say some random name) of the FBI. We are on route to your location now.
*Guy starts yelling not sure what he’s saying*
Me: Why don’t you take that turban off your head and wrap it around your ****ing neck?
Guy (yelling): I invite you! I invite you! (I guess he means “I challenge you” or something along those lines).
LOL silly towelies!
