I got one of these tossers and just hung up on him as he was in mid spiel. He then phoned back.
"Why did you hang up on me?"
"Because you're a ******* scammer. Does your mother know what your doing?".

Other: Yes, are you in-front of your pc?
Me: Yes, but wait a minute, what's your telephone number

Actually enjoyed the exchange. He's lucky because I was busy and the last guy that tried it, I managed to keep on the phone for 20 mins(15 of which on hold)before telling him where to go.Last edited by BABABlackSheep; 23 August 2019, 14:37.Tags: None
