had a conversation with a man who was trying to defraud me of many hundreds of dollars today. Since I was onto his game and was already filing a complaint, I went ahead and returned his threatening phone call. Our conversation went something like this:
Him (in nearly unintelligible South Asian accent): Hello?
Me: (with a severe head cold): Yes, what company do you represent?
Him: Tell me your name.Me: No. You tell me your company's name first.
Him: No. You tell me your name and then I tell you company name fuhst. {sic}
Me: Let's try this again. I want to know whom you represent.
Him: Ma'am, tell me your name NOW! I don't have to tell you nothing.
Me: Okay, since you asked nicely, Rachel Anderson. But you should know that, since you called me first.
Him: Spell that, please.Me: T-H-A-T
Him: Spell name, please MA'AM!!!Me: Oh, I see. Well, Rachel is spelled just like it sounds, and Anderson is pretty common so you should get that no problem.
Him: SPELL NAME PLEASE!!!
Me: No. Guess.Him: LISA LISA LISA MA'AM!!!
Me: Who's "Lisa?" My name is Rachel.
Him: Spell name FOR MY CONVENIENCE!
Me: Oh, I don't think I'll do that.
