ATF Spam Call - Watch Out

[JLT]

I just hand the phone to my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter. She loves to talk. They don't call back.

Since I have nothing better to do driving down the highway everyday, I'll string them along with BS to waste their time for my own entertainment. Once they ask for my name (usually use Hugh Gee Rection, not my actual name obviously) they realize I've been playing the fiddle with them for the past 45 minutes. Usually ends up with them breaking character and losing it. Get a good kick out of it honestly.

Forum Boss: I don't recommend this. A valid response can get your number on multiple shared contact lists. You can probably expect more spammers to call.

Beyond even that, they can use your voice and either AI or digital splicing to create a recording of you authorizing a transaction. The fakes are so good that even be LE cannot detect the fraud. It is best to avoid any contact with criminals, they don't play fair.

I tell them "thanks for calling, they don't usually allow me to talk anyone here". and then I do some crazy talk.

On occasion I get my caller ID showing I am calling myself.

I'm getting text messages from Amazon fraud - but it's coming in without a phone number - no way to block it.

I get them here in WI. as well . Furthermore... they are also scamming PayPal.

Three weeks ago around 4:30PM I got a call that my power was being disconnected at 5PM so he needs $243 payment NOW to call dispatch and cancel the power tech from showing up.

I won't bore you with the the conversation that I had, but I kept the guy on the phone until 5:10 PM and I acted that I am doing ZELLE payment.

Anyways, after 40min he finally realized that I was pulling his leg/s. He told me that I am D%$k head and I need to go F÷=/k myself.

Did you say that after the romp you’d had with him you were no longer were in the mood?

I keep winning stuff from Home Depot and Lowes and there was the email that I won 8 million dollars and that they need my info to send it to me!
