I've been getting the calls from the middle eastern fellows who have apparently detected malicious wares on my computer and are going to help me resolve the issue for months now. Yesterday one of them cracked. He did his opening bit, and I called him on it, told him I was sick of his crap, he had no access to my PC, get a real job, yadda yadda yadda, and capped it off with if you can see my computer, then you must know my name.
His response? "Bullsh*t. That is your first name. Your last name is F*ck Off!. Mother f*cker!"
Amazing.

Register your number here- www.donotcall.gov. Once your number is registered, keep track of when they call (name of company, date & time) & file a complaint. It's easy. You need to re-register your number every 3 years. Hope this helps.

Tell whoever's calling you that they called a crime scene and that they are an accessory to murder. It works everytime Now THAT is badass. One time a charity called and I told them that and the lady on the other line got real scared and hung up

Step 1- Find out what company is calling you. If its a local company. Go to step 2 Step 2-Find out who "Ann" is. Once you find out the company using websites such as linkedin and facebook, you can get a facial recognition of what Ann looks like. Step 3- Start following Ann around until she's in a public place. Step 4- Turn your Cell phone off and stick it in your pocket. Randomly stop Ann and tell her you're lookign for your elderly mother/young daughter and you dont have your cell phone. Ask if you can borrow hers for a moment to try and reach them. Proceed to call your phone. Pretend to find them and tell them you'll meet them ____, thank Ann greatly for helping you and leave. Step 5- Turn your phone on and find Ann's personal Cell phone number. Step 6- Travel though the city throughout the day and night calling her non stop on pay phones asking if she would like to refinance her credit card. Tell her if she's interested to press 1 and if not press 2. Whatever she presses, keep repeating. Enjoy! AMAZING idea. Sounds like you have thought this through and actually did it Nivro! Not to the exact extent but close. I actually had either Direct TV or Dish calling be constantly day and night about an unpaid bill. The thing is, Ive never owned or signed up for a Satellite. I had a credit check done to make sure nobody had stolen my SS# or anything and signed up and I was fully clean but they wouldnt stop calling. So I asked the woman to send me a certified letter with a copy of my balance. At the end of the letter she put her full name "Jane Doe" etc etc. Seeing from where the letter was sent, where she worked and her name, I went on facebook and found her. She actually had her personal phone number posted on Facebook. Every time I got a phone call from her about my Satellite bill, I picked up the phone and called her about her Cable TV bill. I assume the bill was either wrote off or she figured it out because after about a week & half, she stopped calling. Ive also had those calls where people say "Oh for $79.99 we'll come out and clean your chimney, blah blah blah." I tell them yes, great and set up an appointment. The looks on their face is priceless when they show up and realize I dont have a chimney. They're like "Why did you set up an appointment if you didnt have a chimney?" I respond with "Why the are you calling me if you're not sure if I have one or not?"

I'd be more worried if I got a call saying "This is Ann, from Ann Summers."

Every now and then I get calls, for I dont know what, where a message tells me to please stay on the line for the next available representative.
I always hang up right away.
I dont know what the call is for. I dont know who is calling. But I hang up. Where the F do they get off thinking they will call me only to put me on hold?

Answer the phone as "Thank you for calling Dave's sperm bank." Works every time.

If i get a call from out of my area i answer with "Bob's dilldough shop- home of the big one." If they don't hang up I'll just ask what they're wearing and how big their bed is. I make them hang up on ME.

I got a call from from the same random PA number that's been bothering me. And I answered it "Pete's Pool Hall, Pete speaking!" in a clearly manufactured but very thick southern accent. They immediately hung up. I had to laugh.

You need to re-register your number every 3 years. Hope this helps. the problem is.. there is no name from the company. And none of the phone numbers are real numbers. Google "Ann from Account Services" and you'll see a number of message board posts about this nonsense.

I get calls from some company in New Jersey claiming to be a debt collection agency. First time I answered it they told me I owed $299 and some change for a Washington Mutual check. I knew it was bs because I don't use checks, Washington Mutual has not been around for years and when I told the Indian sounding lady the caller ID shows up as a New Jersey number she was clueless. I just mute the ringer if I see an unknown number. Screw scammers.

The only problem with the Do Not Call list is that charities are exempt from it and they can still harass you nonstop. That's a major loophole in my opinion

Next time say, "What are you wearing Ann from Account Services?". After she answers, tell her, "Well, you sound hideous."
