Has anyone ever sent apart list back asking for like a 1965 Corvair radiator or exhaust bearings or knuwtin valve for whatever car to see how dumb these scammers are?
I have got to try this the next time I receive a call about extending the warranty on my wife's Chrysler Town & County Minivan. I will ask them if they cover the rear differential gears or drive shaft hanger bearings.
No one wants to give out their e-mail to those crooks! Let alone cell#. When I get a call from some solicitor, I usually talk to them about where they're from and how is the weather today out in their area. Or how old they are and how many kids do they have. Are they married or single, etc. They usually hang up after a while(pretty quick) and I laugh my butt off. Sometimes when I get insurance applications in the mail and warranty applications in the mail I send them back some pizza coupons in their self addressed stamped envelope, another good tactic! Lol Sometimes I switch it up and include Burger King or McDonald's meal deals too!
Great Idea . All I have been doing is sending the empty envelope back to them as long as it is " No Postage Needed ". I'm gonna start sending Newspaper headlines .
No, I wouldn't recommend giving out your email or phone numbers to those a$$hats, it was for here to contact them in a PM. When you send them coupons, make sure you send them expired ones.(coupons, good one!) Sending the crap from one solicitor to another one is also hilarious! Good one Jerry! Better yet is to send them some clipping out of a gay porn magazine of some guy getting from behind! The bad part about that would be acquiring the magazine to clip those kind of pics out of.
My dad used to complain about the payment envelopes being barely big enough for a check and the payment stub. He had to really work at it to get all the other crap (Amex was bad to put fliers about luggage and junk in) in with it to mail back. Patrick
Me and my bride in the late 70s, were on meager livings courtesy of USAF pay and her job as a cook in a local Messican joint. We thought about "stuffing envelopes" but never followed through. A few friends did it and it did not pay much. We played cards and board games until we were only playing bored games. But it lead to another thing. (No not THAT other thing...) The "Junk mail" got so bad we figured we would game of it. We were gonna "Stuff Envelopes". We would collect it all week, then sitting at the kitchen table open everything, separating out all the "prepaid return envelopes". Then mix up the pile of contents and stuffing the prepaid envelopes. It was funny, and then we noticed a very dramatic decline in junk mail. We did that for about six months and when we moved, we never did it again. The first time I saw Second Hand Lions, and the guys doing that, I went into a laughing fit until I was dizzy.
Derek, can you send me clippings from one of your gay porn magazine's as my subscription ran out, thanks.......
So funny you quoted yourself lol. Every one gets got, even the one who thinks he gots it covered. Those are the ones that get it harder from my experience.
I've started asking them "what are you wearing right now" and go on to say that I'm wearing nothing but aftershave. Gets the phone scammers gone PDQ. And it doesn't offend the bride like some of my more obscene rants.
Thanks for all these suggestions guys . You have truly expanded my parameters for dealing with these morons. My next one will be the : " What are you wearing right now " . Thanks for the suggestion Webby .
Sorry, can't help you with that don't know where to acquire those kind of magazines, you might want to renew your subscription. Just got the idea the day I posted that. Wasn't trying to offend your lifestyle, its just that out of all the porn that the man on man stuff is the MOST disgusting and offensive I would imagine because I have never looked at it. Don't want to see that because you can't un-see something once you see it. Like the same reason I never watched the movie The Human Centipede is what I would compare looking at gay porn with, I wouldn't be able to un-see that movie if I watched it.
It was a "quotable quote" to quote. If I make a "quotable quote" I have no problem quoting it. So there "pay attention"
