1. Ha, pretty good.

This woman's Siri impression is hilarious. "I think you might be afraid of me. Right now. Is that correct question mark."


I remember one where a scammer calls a software engineer and the "victim" somehow talks the scammer into bricking his own computer! That was a scream -- it's on YouTube somewhere. I'll post the link later if I can find it.

2. My advice: don't play with telephone scammers. Just say "this telephone

is for corporate business only" and hang-up.

I played with one of them, and it didn't turn out good for me. My name and telephone number were entered into their autodialer and spoofer. For three months the scammer called all over USA, and he dropped my name/number into the message recorders of hundreds per day. I got call backs for small businesses that thought I might be a potential customer. Nothing could be done until I found an incoming call filter that stopped most of them. The cost to me was that calls I wanted but had not entered their telephone numbers into the filter's white list were blocked.

Don't play with them.
