Scamming the scammer

The funniest is when they get angry when you don't cooperate. Like sir do you think real customer service would get so angry?

I recently got a call from an Amazon scammer. He said he is calling about my account, when I asked him a few times regarding what about my account before I give any information or confirm the code he texted me, he got so frustrated and angry 😂.

My husband loves scamming scammers.
I just hang up on them right away but he keeps them on the phone as long as possible. One scammer asked him why did you waste my time, he answered so you can't scam others in the time I was talking to you LOL

.

I hate talking on the phone and couldn't understand how he enjoys prolonging these calls. But now I see he isn't unique!

A couple of months ago I got a call from my bank saying that they noticed suspicious charges on my (TD) bank card and they just want to verify that it was me. They were expensive purchases out of state and they weren't made by me. I obviously denied those purchases and was thankful they notified me. They then asked me for some account info and I was hesitant to give it so I said I'll put down and call back my bank directly. I did just that and when I mentioned the suspicious purchases they said they have no record of any of that and that call must've been a scam. Being concerned that my info was already hacked I asked them to stop my card and send me a new one which they did. It was a bit of a pain to wait for the new card and update my new card info on various (secure) websites and auto-pay services I use.
This story repeated itself a few times and I denied the purchases every time and when they asked for info I told them "sorry I'm not giving you any info. You called me. Why do you need my info?" At that point the caller usually hung up. I didn't bother stopping my card anymore.
Today when I saw my bank's number on my I.D. again (Yes the real number comes up on the ID so that makes the call seem legit) I decided to give them a taste of their own medicine!

Caller: Hi my name is Achmad from Pakistan (name and location changed) calling with TD bank customer service, can I please speak to Awesome Cardholder?
Me: Speaking! How can I help you?
Caller: how are you ma'am?
Me: How can I help you?
Caller : We're calling to verify some activity on your card and we want to make sure that you were the one who made the recent purchases.
Me: OK...
Caller: So I see here a purchase for some mega model iPhone for $1,298 made in the state of Yehupitz. Did you make that purchase?
Me: Yup! That was me.
Caller: Did you say it wasn't you?
Me: I said it WAS me. I made that purchase. Thank you for checking. Anything else I can do for you today?
Caller: click!
He must've never been this tongue tied in his life.
Now that was fun. But I'm concerned that they do the same to lots of other people. Being that it's the correct number on the ID I'm sure they manage to scam some people. Otherwise they wouldn't continue doing it for so many months. But at least for one tiny second I tasted the sweetest taste of revenge.
Anyone else get these calls from TD bank? Any clue how to stop it?

Be careful , they tape the calls.

Lol. Really love all ideas on this thread.
BTW, I got a text today saying that my TD account is on hold due to suspicious activity and then a link to log in and take care of it... It was false as well (as verified by my bank)
Do they think my memory is this bad and I forgot they tried scamming me 2 days ago? It's really annoying!

When o get scammer calls I start speaking in a different language. I don’t talk in Hebrew though, you never know what a crazy person will do. But I do other languages and it’s so much fun. Sometimes theyre like yelling in English since people who don’t speak English are obviously hard of hearing. Or they apologize. Or they say in English they’ll put down in their notes that we don’t speak English. Try it, it’s fun!!
