I’ve taken to answering spam calls with funny responses. When my phone says “Possible spam,” I answer with something funny. This morning, I answered with “Hunks Are Us Male Escorts! You fluff it, we stuff it!” I remember getting calls from the RoboPreacher, and when the operator came on, I said “Remember ladies, anal sex is the difference between a Ford Focus and a Rolls Royce. Hello! Cactus Jane’s! How can I help you?” Do you answer spam calls with something witty or just ignore them?
This was before answering machines when we had the old rotary phones me and my brothers would pick up the receiver and say, "City Morge, you stab them, we slab them!" Man, our mom and dad would get pissed at us, especially when it was family calling us.
Chainsaw BBQ. You kill them we grill them. Thank you for calling blackgate prison please do not come in costume as we are not arkham. Thank you for calling assassin hotline. The fbi will be contacting you shortly.
I take the boring approach and just don't answer if its a possible spammer. Cancelling the call is much less hassle to me than listening to one of these for even a couple seconds.
Had one other day asking about merchant service and I played dumb and asked what they meant. Who does your credit card processing? What credit card procrssing? Do you not take credit cards? No we take cash chickens or eggs that's all. Click
I’m still doing the Cactus Jane’s response. I’m trying the do the voice of an old woman whose voice has been wrecked with decades of cigarette smoke. Sadly, no scammers respond. I think they just hang up when someone tries to bait them. They used to be more fun.
