Listen "66 Foghorn Has a Car Accident"
Episode Synopsis
Tonight I continue with my "Torment a Scammer" kick:A personal injury lawsuit scammer calls to ask if I've been in a car accident. Foghorn Leghorn answers in the affirmative, and it all goes downhill from there.The next scammer claims that he wants to give me health insurance benefits, but he needs MY credit card number in order to pay me. Interesting. So I read through a bunch of totally irrelevant cards and by the time I get to the membership card for dog shows, he drops.Next are two cable company scammers. I ask the first one if he can see the the dirty movie I'm watching, and of course confuse him by constantly changing the cable provider I subscribe to.The second one tries the same shtick about being from "TV Service Provider" so I tell him that one of his colleagues had gotten to me first and I'd already given all my credit cards to him. I then break character and let him have it.The last one is from the "medicare open enrollment" gold rush. I ask if his company can give me gift cards to my favorite restaurant. Later he asks me what branch of the military I served in, so I throw him a curveball.Thanks for telling your friends about the show, and tell any clubs you're in that I can come give them a talk on online safety!
