408-608-0924

Several months ago, I applied online for a loan through CashNetUSA to cover holiday expenses. Not the smartest thing I've ever done, but that loan was paid promptly. I was smart enough to only give them my Google Voice number for a phone contact, because I'm well aware that these sorts of companies routinely sell their customer info to recoup some of their losses from loaning to deadbeats, and GV is very easy to configure to block telemarketers and scammers.

Starting about three weeks ago, 408-608-0924 (and 01140 86080924) began calling my number. Since they weren't smart enough to get past GV's call screener, I only saw the number as a missed call in GV. I ended up turning off the screener for non-anonymous calls for a different reason, and these idiots finally got through.

Long story short, our English-challenged friend wasn't too thrilled when I cut off his pitch almost immediately and told him that I was well aware of the scam, and that I knew he was most likely not even in the United States. He attempted to argue (which didn't work when I wouldn't even let him get a word in), then asked me to "hold the line for my officer". After about a minute of dead air (I presume I was "on hold"), I simply hung up and blocked the number.

If I had more time to screw with this idiot, I would have. You can do it for us, though. String these idiots along as long as you can. Get them to deliver their whole script. The longer they spend dealing with people who know who they are, the less time they have to work on people who might actually be ignorant and scared enough to pay them.
