Why do they keep hanging up?

The good son who made some bad life choices and wound up working phone scams. Everyone has standards.

 

Yeah it's been a long time since I've gotten one of those but I have had a few of those too.

They try to get you go to some site and intentionally download a virus that will steal all of the personal/banking info on your computer.

 

I like when I can figure out what language they speak (as a first language) from their accent.

I can cuss fluently in 5 languages.

DUDE! That is HILLARIOUS! and cheap too. $6.00 for a year subscription.

 

I own a business so i always get random calls and answer them. I hate these people but i need to start having fun with it

 

I say if they call you, it's on and they're fair game. You're not really supposed to use vulgar or offensive language on the phone, but I didn't ask them to call me and they can hang up any time they want. Besides they are the ones harassing me not the other way around. If they don't like the way I talk to them then they just need to stop calling me.

 

I use whatever indecent but protected language I want on the phone. I've never had a problem.

 

I can speak a few languages so sometimes I mess with them that way too. Lol. Also works for Mormons and jehovahs witnesses. Bonus though my friends mom spoke Japanese to a Jesuit guy that knock on the door and he started talking back to her. Talk about you ultimate backfire lol.

 

I speak spanish sometimes to confuse people since I'm not hispanic and don't look hispanic. Saying "permisso" as I push my shoping cart though stores is a favorite. Of course all the hispanics understand.

 

I speak a little of a couple "mainstream" languages like Spanish and German.

I used to work at a place that had a large number of people from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia, and also at a place with a large number of people from the Philippines, so of course I picked up a few key words and phrases.

Serbo-Croatian and Tagalog are not so "mainstream" and it's interesting to see that there are parallels and similar words in two seemingly diverse and geographically separated languages such as these.

 

Phone rings..Clink of receiver being lifted]
"Hello..?"
"Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
Will you accept the charges from United States?"
[clunk! of phone being put down]
"Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up?
Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?"
[Phone rings again...clunk of receiver being picked up]
"Hello?"
"This is United States calling, are we reaching...
[interrupted by phone being put down]
"See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering."
[whirr of connection being closed]

...but the video is more fun to watch.

 

Any one else ever miss a call from a random number, then call back the number and the person says they didn't call? So you recite the number and they confirm that's their number but they never called. Happened to me twice I think in the last 2 or 3 months.
Then today some random number called me, I answered and they claimed they had a missed call from me. But I didn't call them. They recited my number and I said it was mine but I didn't call and then I explained what I just explained to yall. So weird.

 

Maybe they butt dialed you?

I once had a 911 operator call me because I had butt dialed 911. I felt really silly too.

 

Nope. See edited post above for a better explanation

 

White guy and I speak Japanese and it really fucks with them lol.

 

Crazy! What carrier do you have?

 

Verizon

 

My number is one number different from a drug dealer, I always get weird messages and calls so I have quite a few numbers blocked.
