People Are Revealing Their Reactions To Phone Scams And Here Are 27 Of The Most Amusing Ones
I have nothing but time for these petty scammers.
Oh, these pesky phone scammers. We are all aware of them, and we all detest them.
However, sometimes it can be amusing to go along with the act rather than dismissing and blocking these bothersome people right away. Every day, a great number of people fall for these scam games.
Part of the problem is the difficulty in separating scams from legitimate communications. This is because the scams do such a good job of emulating genuine communications, making them indistinguishable from legitimate calls!
I have no idea why, but occasionally, my phone number gets lucky and is inundated with scam calls nonstop. I was foolish enough to jot down my number somewhere dubious because I thought I could win a free car at the mall or something, and that is definitely why there was such a significant rise.
It doesn't make it any less irritating, even though I know I probably deserve them. I never considered being prepared to the extent that I do now, but the best way to make yourself laugh and irritate some of these truly awful people is to have a humorous response ready for when you receive a scam call.
People started tweeting all of their clever replies to scam calls, and to be honest, they're rather funny. Their stories will undoubtedly make you tougher, even if you find it terrifying to confront a scammer.
