Fun with phone scammers

[Master Hack]

We all get those calls. You can ignore them or get angry, why not have a little fun with them?
When I get those obvious scam calls, I answer like this:
(insert city name here) Police department, fraud division (insert bogus name here) speaking. How may I help you.
Then see how fast they hang up.
Try it for fun, I have actually seen a reduction in calls.

I always answer my phone “Kmart customer service, how may I help you?” Took years for my own family to stop hanging up on me.

I grew up in El paso. An awesome local taco joint called Chicos Tacos.
I always answer unknown numbers Chicos tacos, how can I take your order.
Even in chicago I did it. But nobody knew the awesomeness they were missing.

If you answer like Hack says, also put in that this call is being tracked and you location will be directed to local authorities

Great tip!

If you are the police department aren’t you the local authority?

I am a local authority on many matters that are unimportant, but not a police officer.

I never answer unknown numbers on my hell phone. Ain't nobody got time for that!
