ATO Phone Scam

[Plasnart]

Classic Apollofish! Years ago I got a spam call trying to sell me phone deals. I sat there and listened to all he had to say and when he finished, i put on a "dumb" voice and asked him to repeat his offers because I wanted to write them down, I was very interested in signing up with him. So every time he said something I'd say in my dumb voice "sorry can you repeat that coz I'm trying to write this down". He'd repeat that bit and then I said it back to him very slowly as if I was writing it down. He'd go on to the next bit. "hang on what was that?" So he'd repeat and I'd repeat it slowly back to him pretending to write it down. And on and on it went like that. This went on for 20 minutes before he totally cracked it and he put me through to his supervisor. The supervisor came on and started the speel from scratch and I did the same thing with him until he hung up on me. I cracked up laughing as this took about 30 minutes in total and totally stuffed up their quota for calls/sales per hour. Yes I was having a slow day, had nothing happening and found this great entertainment! Sad but true!!
