Comment How to make them pay (Score 4, Insightful) 338

Whenever you receive a call from one of these scammers do what you can to talk to a live person. This is what costs them money. When I get a robo-call telling me about pack pain medication or having an import message from my credit card company, I always press whatever button I need to push to seem interested and speak with a representative. Then I keep that person on the phone for as long as possible until they give up and hang up on me.

If everyone did this, the overhead of these bastards would be too high to keep calling people. At worse, it would make them limit their calls to known suckers.

Thanks for proving my point. By you speaking more, you proved how irrational and infeasible your position is. Maybe not to yourself, but to those reading this discussion.

Ideas want to be free. Using force to quash them serves only to make them more attractive. Showing their foolishness, like what was done to the KKK, is far more effective.
