I am on both US and Canadian DNC registries so after about the 20th call in as many days I decided to have some fun. I kept the scammer on the line as long as possible pretending to look for credit cards and glasses and a magnifying glass to read the tiny numbers on the back of the card. Somehow I managed to get the numbers wrong and was told if I did not provide valid numbers I would be placed into bankruptcy and my credit cards would be invalidated.
At this point I was about 17 minutes into the call and kind of lost it trying not to laugh. I don't have any credit cards. I might have sounded feeble and very elderly but I am actually to young to own a credit card. After relating I was well aware he was a scammer and something about if his mother was not available to perform certain unmentionable sex acts he was welcome to he paused a moment and hung up.
Now as for reporting this matter nonsense, the powers that be could have easily blocked this number the first time it was reported. Btw 17 minutes is not my record, it's actually 24 and that was only because I had to work my way up the food chain and when I got a supervisor and was close to having her hang up I simply asked her what she was wearing. Thank you for reading please be careful out there. :)))
