    My wife and I cared for her grandmother in her final years. This old woman learned to hand the phone to me when it was a scammer because I’d hassle them with whatever persona I wanted to use that day. I’m no Kitboga but she thought it was funny. And nobody got any money from her.

    It seemed like they would try to get some small amount from her at first - like $250. She got caught out by it once, where she paid them the small amount, then they would come back “needing” a larger (five-figure) amount.

    As an Indian, I would like to congratulate everyone here, you tax returns are here, but there is a spelling mistake in your name and it would take $5000 to correct it, please call 1800420SCAM to get your refund.

    bad jokes aside, these are the scum of the country and I am sorry for this shit.

      If we’re apologizing for national issues that aren’t our fault, I’d like to say sorry for mass-shootings, exploiting poor people and the widening wealth-gap, and (worst of all) obnoxiously loud Americans abroad!
