She's probably too polite to just hand up on them. It took a lot of effort to convince my mom to just hang up if there was a 'beep' then a pause before someone started talking.
If you teach her to say things like "Ben Chod", or reverse prank them in an obvious way such as "Boy am I glad you called, I am prepared to save your soul by telling you ALL about Jesus Christ" and then just keep talking, it is a good way to get on their do not call list
I had a Chinese speaking friend answer one of my phone calls randomly, knowing I was complaining about spam calls and debt collectors. He immediately started speaking Chinese to them, IDK what he said but they don't call anymore!
The next time a spammer calls I'll start talking about how Jesus wants to save their souls, that'd be awesome
I use the Mexican no-speak English trick that is famous in California and hang up.
I have the same problem with my Dad. He gets pissed off and starts lecturing the pajeets, and then he tells me about it later like he won some kind of moral victory.
I tell him he's just wasting his time and raising his blood pressure.
Tell him the scammer gets paid by the amount of time he keeps people on the phone. In many places the scammer need to keep a mark on the phone for a minimum amount of time or they will not get paid for that pay period.
I had a middle eastern guy with an accent call me up about my Microsoft account and how he needed a bunch of sensitive information to fix it because I owe money. Obviously a scam. I played along and acted so worried about my account with the belief he could help me. I kept him on the phone as long as I could, because I had a long drive home from work and was bored. I told him I was looking for my SSC but lost it, but I'm looking around. Customer service workers aren't allowed to hang up on you like he was pretending. We'd been on the phone for about an hour of me playing damsel in distress. I had long commutes to work.
Eventually he made a comment which made me believe he was catching on to what I was doing. Eventually I said something along the lines of "Oh, I know you're trying to scam me, but the longer your on the phone wasting your time with me youre not calling up more vulnerable folks like grammas to scam. I do not respect what you're doing and I am trying to ruin your day."
He started threatening me and raging until he slipped into his native language and began cursing me in that language too, something about how he hates me and my people and wants us all to die like we deserve. I was indeed very happy to waste his time
>Oh, I know you're trying to scam me, but the longer your on the phone wasting your time with me youre not calling up more vulnerable folks like grammas to scam. I do not respect what you're doing and I am trying to ruin your day."
Have you seen the movie, The Beekeeper?
Recent release. It's overall not good, however the premise is one of supreme justice. Jason Statham plays a dude, The Beekeeper, who goes full on Rambo/Death Wish/Jason Bourne/Retributive Angel of Vengeance/Bald John Wick on some tele-scammers because they internet robo-conned retired sweet little old school teacher Claire Huxtable into giving up her financial passwords and wiping her out financially. The creativity of the carnage was the only thing it had going for it. I just wasted 1 1/2 of my life watching the hyper-woke, colored girl boss, white pepo bad, darkies good, CGI explosion piece of goy bait shit, so you don't have to. Just a bit of entrained synchronous kismet that I read your comment directly after watching it.
I like your kill em with kindness method better.
I got a random call while I was reading the comments here. As soon as I heard a pajeet say “Hello…” I hung up. The dumbass tried calling again as though I hung up on him by mistake or something.
If any company I deal with needs to reach me they will have to message me some other way, or have a non Indian employee make the call.
Personally I use a physical answering machine. Autodialers hang up when they hear the line switch to the machine.
