Oh, these pesky phone scammers. We are all aware of them, and we all detest them.

However, sometimes it could be amusing to go along with the act rather than dismissing and blocking these bothersome people right away. Every day, a great deal of people fall for these scam games.

Part of the problem is the difficulty in separating scams from legitimate things. This is because the scams do such a good job of emulating genuine communications and these genuine communication is indistinguishable from a scam!

I have no idea why, but occasionally, my phone number gets lucky and gets inundated with scam calls nonstop. I was stupid enough to jot down my number somewhere dubious because I thought I could win a free car at the mall or something, and that is definitely why there was such a big rise.

It doesn't make it any less irritating, even though I know I probably deserve them. I never considered being prepared to the extent that I do, but the best thing to make you laugh and irritate some of these truly awful people is to have a humorous response ready for when you receive a scam call.

People started tweeting all of their clever replies to scam calls and to be honest; they're rather funny. Their stories will undoubtedly make you tougher, even if you find it terrifying to confront a scammer.
