No sorry I was just confused, you said scammers and criminals are stupid by "deffinition", so all the errors in your post made me think you were a scammer. Apparently I was wrong. Surely you must be a criminal of some sort then? What kind of criminal are you if not a scammer?

I suppose it has never occurred to you that for some KF users English is a second language.

One of these dipshits called my phone claiming to be an Agent of the FBI investigating me for “unpaid taxes”.

Sad that most people don't realize that unpaid tax bills are generally civil matters meaning nobody is going to jail unless there is some sort of fraud involved or something egregious enough to make it a criminal matter.

Unfortunately, these scammers play on people's worst fears and often target seniors who don't always think straight/logically.

I've never received the child in trouble scam call, but I would do something similar if I ever receive one and tell the caller the kids are incorrigible and they can keep them and do whatever they want to punish them.

I also suspect supervisors monitor the lines because I've had scam calls where the scammer is mid sentence when the call abruptly disconnects. I seem to recall some of these "scam centers" (for lack of a better term) have quotas and bosses will cut off calls that are obviously not going to be successful so the scammers can find another potential victim without too much wasted time in between.

I'm sure everyone knows about Kitboga when it comes to dealing with scammers.

I can't remember if I discovered Kitboga before or after a previous mention on the site, but I loved the videos I've seen both here and on the YouTube channel.

One of my personal favorite scam calls I dealt with was a tech support scammer who insisted a computer had some sort of Malware. I spent a bit of time playing with the buttons on my microwave and told him truthfully I couldn't see any icons on my screen and nothing was loading up. He was paying attention well enough, though, that he called me out when I mentioned an F-13 key. He wasn't too thrilled when I told him I knew it was a scam the whole time and I enjoyed wasting his time.

Some of these scammers have such thick accents I have no idea what they are even saying or what the scam of the day is supposed to be. 🤷‍♂️ I can't help wondering how much that hinders their success when people can't fall for the scam because they have no idea what's being said.

Oh I understand now, you're a homosexual in an Islamic country. Very well, but don't be so hard on yourself I'm sure you're actually pretty smart despite your criminal lifestyle.
 
I get a lot of text scams. A lot of them are Netflix/Apple/Amazon ect where they claim there is a problem with your billing and you need to go to the link to pay. The grammar is always pretty bad. But I kept getting this text scam for awhile where it said my SSN had been suspended and I needed to go to the link to get it back. Otherwise the magistrate would arrest me. :lol:

I also got a recording of a Chinese woman speaking over some kind of traditional music a few times. No idea what it was. Probably a scam targeting Chinese immigrants.
 
At least you guys get the callers that talk to you. My scam calls are just dead air on the other line as they mine my data. Like if those fuckers are going to scrape all my information from a phone call, the least they could do is have a damn conversation with me as they do that.

But you should also really try it yourself. It's very fun. Just make up nonsense but in a way that is both meandering yet credible.

Whenever I get text message scammers, I ease into reciting the entire life story of Brianna Wu as if it were my own, including using the exact same names.

As a teenager I liked to pretend I was choking to death mid scam. And then "die" on the phone.

Once about five seconds into a scam call I started fake sobbing about how they were calling me in the middle of killing myself and played a loudass shotgun blast directly into the phone. Dude was dead silent for 30 seconds and asked if I was still alive. I croaked out a "go...fuck...yourself...retard." and hung up. Best laugh I had in weeks.
 
I never answer unless I know the number, but Mr. Cheese has a good reply for them:

He can do a very good East Indian accent, so he starts telling the scammer all about his butt-plug business.
They start their spiel, and he tells them so sorry, the butt-plug business is doing badly these days.
Then he offers to send them a case of green and brown ones, because those colors don't sell, and that should take care of the past due taxes. They usually hang up at this point.

For the record, he's a truck driver.
 
I sometimes play along with them for a few minutes before I tell them I'm from Scammersville, my state or that my email is scammerssuckdick @cringe.com. They usually shut up after that.
 
Indians are about the dumbest and worst kind of people on the planet to the point they need spicy food to hide how much literal shit is in their life at all times. That they use their shitty English to try and scam people is just the icing on the cake of the shit sandwich.
