Funny / Satire

Have you been inundated by robocalls? Do you want to have some fun at someone else's
expense as after all, they disturbed YOU! Answer the call with "Police Department Smith"
or some other name. Another I use is "Security Smith" or "Tech Support Smith" DO NOT
SAY WITH "HELLO" when you answer, as the computer in some cases will then direct the call to your
victim!!! Most of the time they hang-up. Very seldom
do I get a persistent A-hole that wants to sell me something. So now, one needs a follow-up
to shed the grifter when they talk. If one uses the the "Police scam", tell them they have reached a non-public
number and ask if they have a police emergency!
I use the computer "Help-Desk" scam too as I used to do tech support for a time too.

Have some fun with them as most know they are SCAMMERS!

I use "Bueno" which is common in Spanish speaking countries. Only once has the telemarketer not hung up. Then I said "No entiendo!" and hung up on them. Probably a whole other department of scammers for the Spanish speaking world!
