I received multiple phone messages on my business phone from both a female and a male with identical scripts in very broken english with thick, almost unintelligble accents.

I wasn't born yesterday--and because these people are scam artists AND irritating me when I have real work to get done--I took a few moments out of my day to screw with them.

First, I called them back and asked them if they needed directions to the memorial service or the funeral showing.  The male on the other end said "I do not understand what you saying" (very broken english, thick accent).  I then asked, "Sir, what exactly was your relationship with the deceased?  Because the memorial is open to everyone, but the viewing of the body is for family only."  He started in with "you must relay a legal message to XXXXX XXXXXX" (my name X'd out for privacy purposes).  I told him that would be very difficult, considering XXXXX XXXXXX passed away six days ago, and my job was just to direct people on how to get to the memorial service.  He stuttered a bit, then said "sorry to bother you" and hung up.

Oh no, I wasn't done there.  I am just WAAAY too creative not to get even with these idiots even more.  I then went online and filled out every "have an agent contact me" scam I could find.  I entered their name (John Jackson) and their phone number (661-532-8529) for free insurance quotes, free daily horoscopes by phone, free debt relief help, free home improvement memberships, etc.  Hopefully that will cause THEIR phone to ring off the hook with telemarketing  scum and scammers.

But wait, there's more.  I couldn't just hope they would get lots of calls, I had to make sure of it.  So I signed into Craig's List for one of the biggest cities (most populated) that I know of.  I listed an ad stating that I was in search of a payday type of loan, and for anyone in that business to call me and help me through the process.  Again, I listed his name & number.

Then I went into my "spam" folder in my email and found any email that said something to the effect of "you inherited large sums of money from Nigeria" (as an example) and responded to those emails with his name and phone number as well.

Yes, it all is a little bit evil of me, but because these guys arn't in the U.S., I really don't think that our law enforcement is going to be able to do anything about it other than stick it in a file.  If I come up with any more creative ideas to get even, I will definitely come back and post again so that you all might have some of the same fun!

Good luck everybody and absolutely do not give these guys any of your personal information, much less your hard earned money.

Awesome, I am going to follow your lead and do the same thing.  Same thing has happened to me only the guy on the other end cannot give me any information and when i ask where he is calling from he states Chicago and I looked up the # and it is California (cell phone).  This guy is an idiot if he thinks i'm going to play into his little evil game i hope he rots in hell oh but he probably doesn't care....Wait till it happens to him or them.  I liked your idea flood him with msgs maybe that is why I can't leave a msg on his "voicemail."  He is pure scum, if u talk to him tell him to take a friggin English class if he is going to try to scam people

These criminals have been calling me and my husband days and nights. They are driving me crazy to a point that I'll do anything to stop these harassment. I've found a post from this website in which the poster has some brilliant ideas to beat them in their own game. They use cheap indian monkeys to call us and we'll "ask" the general public in US to "stop" them. I wonder what will happen if I post a ads in Craiglist about giving away free big screen TV or video game with their return numbers (not the fake caller ID number!)

Now THAT's what I am talking about!

These [***] were calling me 15-16 times a day, at home, at work...and I never had a "pay" loan.  (I filled out the form online for one, but when I read the "terms and conditions", I decided not to do it.)

Anyway, 5 days ago, I finally had it.  I googled the phone number & found this site.  I read a post from someone called "2 Creative", and decided to invest 2 1/2 hours of my day off to screw with them the same way 2 Creative did, and guess what?  I haven't heard a peep from them since!  It actually works...try it.  (I did have to hear a lot of screaming and cussing, but nonetheless it worked!)

Go get them everyone...look up the post from "2 Creative" and it will tell you exactly how to do it and finally get some peace and quiet.  (And SCREW those terrorist [***]!)
