Getting sick of those calls here, I sat through the first 5 minutes of the first one to see how they operate first hand.
Out of morbid curiosity I sat through a minute or so of the second one before giving him a spray, he didn't even slow down his pitch until I hung up.
Glad you cottoned on, I've had several customers call me after the fact.
One customer called me in tears because when the scammer rang back he thoroughly abused her for not accepting their offer.
Bloody parasites
