Yelling at a Home Improvement Scammer Who Refuses to Answer My Questions

I receive scam phone calls every day. While my improv skills are weak, I try to waste their time anyway.
Honestly, the most frustrating part about engaging these scammers is how they try to dodge a question. While I'd prefer truthful answers (which I hardly ever get), even the lies are more fun than the evasion.
And, yes, it absolutely can still be a scam even if they don't ask for your credit card number. Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!

I like the way you make them prove they are not a scam. Scammers are idiots that can barely speak and understand English. I got a scam call yesterday and asked for area code. It’s a great question. Thanks for all you do.

We provide our services in “ each and every state” ….. that’s a favourite scam-speech and is a dead give away.

I like the stop motion Lego figure with the phone. Yeah definitely a scam caller

What call recording app do you use?

[@hawaiianshirts4715]

It's called Talker ACR. The quality of the recording isn't the best, but it has the most reliable auto-start of all the apps I've tried.

@@hawaiianshirts4715 All the one's I've tried make the person on the other end so quiet that one can barely hear them (only in playback) so I was actually impressed with yours.

[@hawaiianshirts4715]

Talker ACR does the same. I have to open the file in OcenAudio (a sound editor) and enhance the scammer's volume, which is part of the reason my sound quality isn't so great.
