Scammers seem to dislike being told to "Fuck yourself!". I wonder why that should be.
I feel sorry for them, actually....it can't be an easy job and I can't imagine it pays well, either. Depending on my mood, I'll say "I'm sorry your job requires 'cold calling.' Please take me off the list." Other times, I'll just hang up. Indulging my inner bitch????
You are way more patient than I am. I get extremely angry at the a$$holes who try to swindle people out of their hard-earned money, and I am fully prepared to display my anger at such people.
