I can feel the screm-rage from here....

Hence, why my telephone is now disconnected (until *I AM READY TO MAKE A CALL*), and my answering machine, too.
Being on a 'Block' list makes no damned difference. These annoying, parasitic bastards random-dial/call any and all numbers they can, regardless.
I don't PAY for my monthly telephone/internet connection, to be harassed by suck ilk!

bingo!

Protogens come with a warranty?

They'll sell you a warranty or try to on anything

ROFL!

I just got a call from a guy from india claiming they be from microscoff. those never give up, as well... can't they at least teach them proper engrish?

Naw. You're just not their target demographic. If you can look right through their ruse, you're not worth their time. They aim for people who genuinely fall for this shit, because those won't question a thing and are worth spending time on. That's also why so many scam emails are full of errors. If you don't fall for it, you're too smart to exploit.

andererseits weiß man nie... kannte da einen der bei aller intelligenz seine PIN in eine email eingab.

Ouch! I guess he regrets that decision. I had a recording the other day say that because of my good payment record they were authorized to offer me a reduced interest rate on my credit card. When I asked the person what my interest rate was, he said, "Well, Visa charges 24% interest." I said, "No, what am 'I' paying in interest." He repeated the previous statement. I repeated what I had said. Finally, he got angry and hung up.

I never got why they did to do the 'Totally-English-name-through-thick-Indian-accent'.
They ain't fooling anyone with the name (at least).

Just choose Dipak or Sanjeev or Apu or whatever.

it was my former boss, and I stepped into his office the moment after he answered that email (regarding the web page of his little auto shop), and I told him to change the password RIGHT NOW. as far as I know he was lucky.

best thing is, authorities and police tell everyone at every possible opportunity to NOT DO THAT. banks tell you all the time they will NOT ask your pin or other details across the phone... yet there is always someone who panics.

Oh, those guys are slowly learning that my telephone number is NOT the number they want to talk to. I love talking to them because I usually have a bad day at work and I take my frustrations out on telemarketers. I've also embarrassed a few of them because I've got a paralyzed vocal cord and my voice sounds rather gruff. One telemarketer started making fun of my voice by "imitating" it. I said, "How nice that you make fun of someone with a paralyzed vocal cord. I wouldn't talk to you if you were offering me $1,000,000 tax free and all I had to do was say, 'Send it to me'."

somewhere I saw a flowchart with questions and replies made to throw off telemarketers and such by distracting them from their original task.

I've watched a couple of videos on YouTube of people dealing with telemarketers. The best one was when the telemarketer threatened to person he was talking to with a visit from the sheriff because he had supposedly been doing something illegal. Unfortunately for the caller, he was talking to the sheriff. Another good one was when the caller happened to be a programmer and the programmer shut down the caller's computer system. I LMAO at both of them.

awww, beautiful. :)

Oh I hate those calls.

I still have a landline as part of a cable-internet deal. It also helps me find my cell phone when I misplace it.

"I just washed my ears, and I can't do a thing with 'em."

Ive....literaly been waiting for a job to call back....and this happened with that cars extended bull

GOD! I can relate to this one.

The car warranty scam has been upgraded but still sounds fishy.
