Hi all,

You know those phone scammers that waste everyone's time and try to steal money - well i have a little fun with them and have uploaded a vid to Youtube. Check it out, it's pretty funny.

I have quite a few more that I will upload eventually. This one is a little long but pretty funny by the end.

Gold. I've done similar but you have given me some "drag-em-along" ideas to improve my technique for the next indian named Nicole or Eric with the Melbourne accent

Hahaa... That is funny! I hope you have been working on this routine cause if that is how your day really unfolds....

Keep it up... This could be a competition to see who can string it the longest? Your 11 and a half minutes is a pretty awesome start!!

Thanks mate, glad you like it. I have quite a few - I'll upload them gradually to my channel so subscribe for updates.
I think by best was close to an hour and so funny.

Started doing after my grandmother in law almost handed over her details.

I was telling the story to the guy who works in the deli below my office (Pakistani guy) and he said "don't be mean to them - it's what I did before I came to Australia". Now this guy is lovely bloke who I chat to often - he explained that where he lived, that was the ONLY work place.

Figured from then I would stop telling them to farrrrk off and just waste their time.

Ended up being pretty funny.

I believe many of these cold-call hombres came to Straya as students. For them, work choices to are limited. The usual 7/11, the service stations, are the 2 common ones. The call centres is an easy choice as they can all crammed into a small office, and get paid peanuts.

The characters called up throughout the years when I still had the land line varied. Only once did I get a female caller. Most are not very convincing, but fools did fall for them. One character really stood out was an arrogant little crap. He was full of confidence judging by the way to spoke to me. Then he top it up with a blast of Indian music in the background.

To hose down his arrogance, I gave him a good solid lecture on why he shouldn't be doing what he is doing. And told him that he is a disgrace to his own people. I doubt it made much difference though.

I had the same mob with a computer virus scam call repeatedly and I could string them along for hours. It's not as funny but you can get 10mins just waiting for your computer to startup. " Oh you need my windows computer not my Apple, well I'll just startup that one instead...." In the end 'd laugh. Once I said look I'll give you my credit card details if you let me talk to one of your secretaries, they put me through to some woman and as I started chatting with out a click the guys were back on the line. I laughed they laughed, we all had a good laughing. We were like frenemies.
