Has anyone gotten a high volume of calls lately because you "Just happen to won a prize", about the time  you will be getting taxes back and stimulus check?
It's amazing that I only have to pay about what I will be getting back.
This one numbnut I played along, had her online for 15 minutes, Gave her a Name, address, phone number, when I was expecting my taxes to pay the "Small Deposit Fee", times I could do the "Vacation", granted, I gave her all sorts of information that wasn't mine.
So my fiance says, "Mike, Do you want pancakes". I guess at this point it clicked in something was amiss and she asked if I had children. I said yes and she then asked me how old my boy "Mike" was. I explained I didn't have a son, but two daughters and my name was "Mike".
She got ticked. She asked me if my name was "John Booneener", and I said "no". She informed me the call was recorded and she was going turn the tape over to police for falsifyng information. So please, If you see a guy in jail by the name of John "Mike" Booneener, please, bail me out.

The next call I played a Gay guy seeing if she was woman enough to make me go straight.

The third call, I had a very bad speech impediment.

The 4th one, Storm started barking and I explained that it was the SWAT teams police dog trying to get in and to ignore it, I was.

Has anyone else noticed the rise in prizes?

I forgot to mention, these are coming on my CELL PHONE!

I haven't but I think it's great that you gave em hell! When my kids were little I used to hand them the phone. I'd say "can you hold on for just a moment. I'm really interested in this but I need to check the bread in the oven" I would then give the phone to one of my kids (mostly my daughter who can't carry a tune in a bucket) and have them sing a song or their ABC's anything annoying. The caller usually hung up rather quickly.

kindagreywolf and Tega, we have something in common!! I usually tell them: especially if they're selling something. I will purchase something of yours, if you come to my yard sale and buy my things, they usually hang up on me, I can't figure out why!! A good one is that you have an incoming call and you must get it, just hang up on them. Tell them, someone is at your door, just a minute please, and lay the phone down and forget it.. Tell them you are a privite eye service. (cricket)

The trick is to traumatise them enough to where THEY put your number on the "Do Not Call" list.

haha, I've got one that tops them all.

One called one time asking for me and I played a "friend".  I told them that so and so wasn't available because they were out back having sex with a cow.  The dude on the other end was like, "HUH".  I told him again that so and so was out having sex with a cow and I was rather disgusted and leaving.  Then, they ended up hanging up on me.

Another called one time and I told them that, "he wasn't home right now but since stalking him I learned that he usually get's home around 5ish."  Girl on the end was like, "uh, stalking him?"  I said, "yea but I'm not stalking him right now, instead I'm robbing his house and I'm on a very tight schedule."  I then hung up after that.

It doesn't matter what you tell them.  They'll keep calling.  I believe these people have heard it all.  Best thing to do, go put yourself on the "Do not call" list.  You can get on-line and do it.  I haven't had any problems in years.  You have to do this with cell-phones too.

News of a crazy woman with an AirHorn gets around really quickly though, you would be surprized how many lists I used to be on that have ceased to call my number. I got my phone number changed the other day though, can't wait for the calls to start up again, I have my air horn sitting by the phone...waiting. Before I got the air horn, I had a joke ****** can, I used to say, "Oh, darn refried beans.... hold on a minute...." then let one rip into the phone, but too many of the callers thought that was just funny or rude, so I bought the air horn, it works really well.

Anyone got anymore.  It's been so long since I've delt with them since I'm on the do not call list.

I like to act like I called them, confuses the heck out of them. Sometimes I answer in Cantonese (yes I know a few words), once though it backfired, they had someone who actually spoke Cantonese, she sounded really nice, so I pretended to go to sleep while she was talking to me, started snoring, so she hung up. Sometimes I pretend to be hard of hearing, they hate for you to make them shout on the phone, that works pretty well, they got frustrated when they asked if there was someone else they can speak to who hears better, I told them I was sorry but there is  noone named Betty here,  the hard part is to keep from laughing when they are complaining in a low tone to their coworkers about you.

I answered one call and said I wasn't the owner (I was at Keiths house) and said the owner just passed away in a car accident. I also stated that I was comforting his wife in hopes she would lean on me and I would get lucky.
An hour later to my horror, I found out it was Keiths uncle. Keiths dad was slightly upset at me. So when you play, make sure it's a telemarketer.

I did pretend I was interested once, lit a firecracker and hollered "And if the other dog craps on the floor, I'll shoot him to". They hung up.

aw man, that's just hilarious.
