Re: “Police recommend that you do not engage with scammers,”

It's the best when they get angry at you.... I had one guy finally call me a looser for wasting his time as everybody was listening in on speaker phone... To be fair it alot of time was spent cycling thru two or three levels of their trolls in one call...

I've had these scammers call many times. It's a competition in the office to see how long we can keep them on the line.

We also have a bunch of folks calling up for 'Air Duct Cleaning Services'. Since they always wanted to waste my time I would get them to come to the office at 3:30pm on a Friday afternoon at the height of traffic. As a result subsequent follow up questions now involve looking up addresses on google street view. Now I just have to tell them I have no water fowl to clean...
