“You should’ve received a notice in the mail about your car’s warranty.” We’ve all had the calls trying to sell us an “extended warranty” for our cars. They rank among everyone’s favorites right beside the scammers from India who try to steal credit card numbers. Most people hang up on these calls but for several years I didn’t.
The Credit Card Scammers
With many of the Credit Card scammers, I tended to answer a few questions seemingly reasonably (as far as they knew), and then I would ask, “do you feel good with what you do with your life?” This tended to really change the conversation where I would tend to try to get them to admit that they are actually a scammer. Some adamantly refused to give up the ruse, even after being caught in numerous logical contradictions. Most would hang up around this point but I did get a few to start questioning what they were doing.
