I talked to an Indian Scammer Today

[Bill]

Instead of just insulting him off the bat which I normally do, I asked him for his real name, and what part of India they were in. I say, damn, guy, I talk to you just about every day, I should at least know your real name.

Surprisingly, he tells me, tells me he's in Bombay, and it's almost 40 degrees C there, and that he actually successfully scams about 15 people per day, himself, not the boiler room total. I asked him if he felt bad. No, he says. He says Indian PM Modi approves of them doing it, and Modi's political party takes a cut of the money they scam to use to stay in power, so they're actually protected. He was so matter of fact about it, I actually believe him.

I asked him if he would feel bad if I scammed his mom, he says, "I tell my mother to beware of scammers." LOL!

He says he's Hindi, I asked if he thought God disapproved, he says no, I'm helping my country, I'm helping India.

After our chat, I asked if he could remove my phone number, and he was kind of apologetic, saying they autodial, so he couldn't remove me. I mean, he could be lying about all of it, but he was so matter of fact and it was such a strange revelation, like he was bragging about what he did. Douchebag.

If that's true about Modi's party being involved, then my opinion of Modi has certainly changed.

Interesting. They hang up on me when I try to talk with them.

Most of them do hang up after I start cursing them out, but a few sit there and take the abuse for a while, and try to say something, but I just keep tossing out insults, slurs, and racial epithets as long as I can tell they're on the line, trying to talk every once in a while.

I had one guy who did that, then he started going, 'dooo dooo dooo" some kind of nonsensical sing song shit. I actually started laughing, he started laughing......I gave him a final F off, dalit, and hung up. Appreciated his effort, though.
