OT: Being approached by random people for "opportunities"

[Fixed to Ruin]

I've never gotten the "you owe X amount in taxes or you go to jail" scam but I'd love it if they called

I'd try and string them for as long as possible

You should look up the Jolly Roger Telephone Co YouTube channel.

This guy created bots to string along these type of telemarketers. Pretty funny stuff.

Yes, one of them left me a voicemail and momentarily lost where he was on the script he was reading. My favourite part of the scam is when they tell you, "if you don't respond to this call, all I can do is wish you good luck."

Haha yes! I received this message and actually laughed out loud at the good luck part. You would think they could come up with a better script if they are going to go to all the trouble of calling thousands of people.

Watched Seinfeld last night.

The one where Jerry says something along the lines of "how about you give me your home phone and I'll call you when I have a chance. Oh you don't want to be bothered at home, I guess you know how I feel"
