    I just received a call saying; We're calling because we noticed the extended service plan on your vehicle is about to expire, if you would like to speak to a rep say yes. Of course I said yes. Indian woman responds, I then ask her to tell me my name, type of vehicle and current plan about to expire... CLICK. She immediately disconnected.

    I love messing with these guys! Last week an "IRS" agent was calling me and telling me I was to go to jail if I didn't pay some exuberant amount of money.
    Asked if I could pay in Walmart, Apple-bee's, and Gamestop gift cards and he said yes and I couldn't help myself to not laugh, ended up getting cussed out by
    him in some foreign language I could only presume to be Indian.

    This guy is my inspiration for these kinds of phone calls :rofl:

    They called me too, I asked to speak to an “officer” without an Indian accent, they hung up. I called them a dozen times to mess with them. True scum of the earth.

    Had a strange person creep up on me while mulching this past Friday. He stated he was from a power company however the company he named was not the same company on his shirt. He insisted he could ''lower'' my bill. I insisted I was not interested and in fact he was trespassing. He then stood there for about a minute not saying a word which was also strange. He came within an arms reach of me if he came any closer I would've had no choice but to take him as a threat. He was close to having coal shovel for lunch and maybe some mulch for dessert.

    It's always funny when they say "press 3 to be taken off our calling list" and the people who unsuspecting do press 3 tell them their phone has a human living there, with you getting twice the calls.

    Even answering the phone puts you on their list, I think. I dont answer my personal phone if I dont recognize the number, but Im obligated to answer my work phone 24/7. My work phone gets at least 2-3 spam calls a day, and the number is always spoofed to make it appear that its from a different part of the Virginia, so blocking the number is no good.
