Listen "119 Epic Prescription Scam Call"
Episode Synopsis
It's another Torment-a-Scammer episode!One Medicare scammer lady calls me claiming to be "Allied Health" but I mis-hear it as "Airline Health". I tell them my doctor is Guido Sarducci, and when they ask for my Medicare card, I read the backs of all the cards I have in my drawer.Next, I call a Support Scammer and claim there are North Korean cookies in my computer. I then ponder what North Korean cookies would taste like. First he claims to be Amazon, then he claims to be Microsoft. When he asks what brand of computer I have, I tell him it's a Kaypro (those were from the early 1980s).The final one is a most epic interaction with a pharmacy scammer. I make him think I'm vulnerable and gullible with "I don't know, every time someone calls, I just keep buying more pills!" I then rattle off a whole list of drugs, and he offers to mail me all of it, and even encourages me to resell it! Then I hear one of his colleagues doing a tech support scam in the background, and he drops his facade.Hope you have a blast tonight, and warn your friends not to call Support Scammers!Visit thecomputerexorcist.com to buy a preview edition of my forthcoming book.
