@darcieaddison6186 22 дня назад

Every time I get a scam caller now I tell them I'll pray for a real job for them instead of them being a criminal. Once I said, "you need Jesus because you're a criminal". They are always shocked and hang up.

@Kojow7 День назад

They probably are not shocked. They just know they won't get anywhere trying to scam you, so just hang up to move onto the next person.

@betsywoolbright8059 День назад

My brother (RIP) said there's a "test" you can do. When they call, you ask if the caller can confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Almost invariably they can not. I asked my brother why they can't just say "oh sure" or something. Apparently they typically are... unable to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, if they do not believe it? He once told a Muslim caller he'd pray for her and I think she even called back later. My brother was a man of God. He passed too soon, 2 months ago. 34 years old.

The more we elders can do this, the better off everyone is. Sometimes I just start speaking Swedish or German and they hang up after a few minutes. It's good to ask lots of questions, which keeps them on the phone longer and can be lots of fun!

@katperson7332 21 день назад

I usually recite a Poem in Spanish which I learned in High School in the 1960s. It’s all about El Cid and very boring. They usually hang up! I’m 75 now but I don’t get many scammer calls now as I have caller display and don’t pick up the phone if I don’t recognise the number. Years ago I remember getting a call wanting to get me compensation for my recent ‘accident’ so I went along with it and when he asked what my injuries were I told him they were terrible and he was lucky I could even talk, as I’d been decapitated! They often would swear at me before hanging up.

My dad does this type of thing. When the scammer calls and asks "How are you doing today?". My dad starts off with, "Well not so good" then goes off making up health problems, trouble at work, all the home appliances breaking, the dog ran away. Pretty much an old country western song where everything has gone wrong. Eventually they just hang up.

Shes clever! You can be angry, or scam them, we do the same thing. I spoke in my father’s accent, said explain again please? And just frustrated them he hung up. He called to see if anyone else could speak? It was so fun. Told him I had my computer ready.. he spoke slowly, I was cracking up! In the end, he said the key is on your keyboard ma’am!!! Listen!! When I said oh I don’t have a keyboard it’s a tablet, he cussed and hung up. End of it.😂😂😂😂. Hope she posts more she’s funny.
