DUMBASS SCAMMER: "This is Alex, to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with today?"

INNER VOICE: Oh, Alex (which I know is not your real name, Sanjay), this isn't going to be pleasurable for you at all.

ME: "What? Are you drunk? You sound like you're drunk or on drugs."

DS: "What?"

ME: "I think you're drunk! Let me talk to your supervisor! Now."

The call is usually over by this point, but I keep hammering on the dingbat being drunk or on drugs and demanding to speak to a supervisor. Then I block the number and delete all logs of the call, and go on my merry way.
