I could get a $9,000 grant (true story)
« on: January 17, 2014, 02:39:59 PM »

This is a true story that just happened to me.

I just had the most fun I’ve had since hanging out at buddy’s Man Cave back in Texas.

I got a call about “How I could get a $9,000 grant from the government" from someone with a heavy Indian accent, that I could barely understand some of the words. Of course it was a scam to get my banking info, that I usually just hang up on.
But it’s cold and snowing out today, so I decided to see if I could keep the call going for a while.

I just kept telling him how nice that would be to get a grant I didn’t have to pay back and to go ahead and send me a check.
He wanted my info.
I tried to keep him going (trying to sound naïve) and he after a short while said something nasty.
So I told him I was recording the phone call, oh my he didn’t like that.
Then he got real nasty and said he was going to f^ck me up the a**.
Then he was going to come and do the same to my wife and grandfather. I said I don't think my grandfather would like that very much, plus the fact he's dead, but he could try it if he wanted to. lol

More nastiness went on from him (cussing, name calling) then when he got back to how he was going to f^ck me up the a$$ again, so I asked him if he liked doing that f^cking people up the a$$ (that must have caught him off guard) because he chuckled and said NO he don’t like doing that.

I went back to telling him to “just send me the check and how I like grants” and more nastiness was said.
Then I said, did you just call me an a$$hole?
and he said "NO I called you a bitch".
I said you called me a bitch?
He said yes.
Then I preceded to tell him that he didn’t know me very well. This went on for a while about how I’m not a bitch.

He brought up the being recorded thing again, so I then told him to call me on another line that isn't being recorded (lucky for me I was sitting at my computer) and I looked up gave him the phone number to my State Attorney General’s office and for him to ask for me (I gave him the AG's name)
He really perked back up started being nice again.

This was the most fun I've had in a while, I stayed calm through all the nastiness and never said anything back or raised my voice.
It only lasted 8 minutes, but I could barely keep from laughing out loud over the phone.

I love it!!! it used to be a goal of mine to answer every telemarketers call and see just how long I could keep them on the phone, including the time that I ask them to hold on so I could run out to the mailbox and get my address off the side of it for them being I couldn't remember it.
