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.

Same as above..something about having my attorney call them..BS

Caller claimed to be a Brian Jackson but had a definite Indian accent. Said I needed to return the call immediately or have my retained attorney call. Gave no specifics about what they needed! Annoying as hell!!

this is a company (SBC?) that claims to be able to help you reduce your debt. supposedly from irvine calif but I doubt it. just hang up on them and sooner or later they'll quit.

How bothersome & distubing it is. This person contines to call me harass me dont speak in phone. Im disabled. Stresses me out for them to call. Been getting calls started on January 31, 2011. Total of 2 calls a day everyday since they started.
