A friend of mine had someone call up "This is about the accident you had...". It turned out that my friend had indeed had an accident, which had left him concussed and with very little short-term memory. There then followed a long and (for the scammer) most frustrating conversation as the scammer was mistaken for an online grocery, a vet dealing with the castration of a pet cat, a hospital, someone whom he'd forgotten the name of and so on, over and over and over again.
The scammer ended up beside himself with frustration, yet not quite able to put the phone down since he was never openly abused or mocked.
