I receive scam phone calls every day. While my improv skills are weak, I try to waste their time anyway.
Received this home improvement scam two days after heavy rains caused flooding in and around Houston, Texas.
My fake last name of Appleton played a big role in this call. The scammer claimed to know a James Appleton; I referred to Larry Appleton of the Chicago Chronicle newspaper (fictional character from the "Perfect Strangers" sitcom), and the scammer guessed that I live in a town called Appleton.

When you get a phone call from a home improvement scammer, you know it is a call by night operation.

It's reached the point where unexpected phone calls from someone sounding Indian but claims to have an english name is 99% chance of a scam. They don't even bother to learn the absolute basics of info of where they claim to be.

Hawaiian!!!!! I love the casual "Do you need anything else?" just a casual walk in shower on top? It's amazing how consistent the area code trap is.

@garfieldsmith332, ooh, I like that idea! Next time I'll try to remember to ask the home improvement scammer for ridiculous add-ons to my house.

I do want to say thank you Mr Hawaiian Shirt, I learned from you to ask for the area code from where they claim they are from. Most of the time they give me a zip code and Im like no not that 😂 either they stall trying to goggle (Google) it or they say they are from (insert state) with agents all over the country, I get firm and say that doesn't matter where the agents are why is your area code from a different place. They get mad and hang up 😂 I love it. Hope you're doing well and Happy Early Fathers Day! (Amy)

I am so happy to know that you (and others) are using my tactics against the scammers! The more of their time we waste, the less damage they can do.
