How have you got a repeat marketing or scam phone call off your bank?

I got a call from the Social Security Administration. I asked for the company's address,

and he paused and said, uh, New York, America. I took a call from the, I hear you've had

an accident that wasn't your fault, call that I get about once a week. It's automated at first,

but as soon as I said yes, I got put through to someone. I spent 20 minutes explaining how

someone reared into my lane and crashed into me and it wasn't my fault. At the end, when they

asked me for details on the damage, I explained that they'd bent the handlebars a bit, but the

bicycle was mostly okay. They hung up on me and I haven't heard back from them in about a month. I always answer, hello, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Telemarketing Fraud Department, how may I help you? For some reason, they always hang up on me. Yeah, got a call from the duct cleaning people. I told them I don't have ducts,

I have geese. They just hung up on me and haven't bothered me since. I told them that I was a member

of their branch, a floor above them, and that they misdialed. They said,

Frick you, and hung up. I didn't get a call back from them for a few months. Oh man, this is great.

I think I'm going to have to finally start picking up on these idiots and take my own spin on this.

Let them go through whatever little spiel they have, add in a little giggle here and there,

and finally just start laughing until limits James or Cindy down the hall, and ask them out on a date.

I asked them for their social security, and they hung up on me.

Wack!

Ha ha, I just did the same.

I answered all worried and said, so I can borrow yours for a while instead, right?

They got angry and hung up on me.

No calls back, though.

The thing that really gets them is wasting their time. They're getting paid to make calls,

so the longer you keep them on, the better.
