- 0:16Speaker 1: it's time for your phone tap. And we've talked about
- 0:19Speaker 1: this on the show before, but it's kind of crazy.
- 0:21Speaker 1: There's a record number of scam calls happening right now.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Oh yeah, study show almost seventy percent of all phone
- 0:30Speaker 1: calls are scams. Yes, true, And my car warranty doesn't
- 0:35Speaker 1: need help. Okay, there's no warranty anymore, it's too old,
- 0:38Speaker 1: and so people are extra wary whenever they get a
- 0:40Speaker 1: phone call. Now. In fact, it's hard to do these
- 0:43Speaker 1: pranks sometimes because people won't even pick up most of
- 0:45Speaker 1: the time. But every once in a while someone does,
- 0:48Speaker 1: and I think it's important to tell that person right
- 0:51Speaker 1: off the get go, this is a legitimate call. You
- 0:57Speaker 1: should definitely believe me. And that's what happens today when
- 1:01Speaker 1: I call a guy who was set up by his
- 1:03Speaker 1: wife because apparently he's been getting a lot of scam
- 1:05Speaker 1: calls lately. Hopefully he takes my word for it that
- 1:09Speaker 1: this is definitely not a scam. Yeah, it's just a
- 1:12Speaker 1: phone tap and it's happening right now the twenties. Hello. Hi,
- 1:24Speaker 1: I'm looking to speak with Dave. Uh, it's actually Dave,
- 1:29Speaker 1: but this is he. Oh. I'm sorry about that, Dave.
- 1:32Speaker 1: My name's Lester Green. I'm calling from Global Industries and
- 1:36Speaker 1: I need to tell you before we begin this call
- 1:38Speaker 1: that this is not a scam. Okay, okay. I'm usually
- 1:44Speaker 1: when people preface that it means it's a scam. No,
- 1:48Speaker 1: I'm just saying I've been on the phone all morning
- 1:50Speaker 1: and you would not believe the amount of people that
- 1:52Speaker 1: think I'm trying to scam them. It's ridiculous, but it's not. Okay,
- 1:57Speaker 1: how can I help you? Okay? So I'm just telling
- 1:59Speaker 1: you up front right now, this isn't one of those
- 2:00Speaker 1: scam calls. You said that, but then why do you
- 2:04Speaker 1: keep bringing it up? Like I said, but the way
- 2:07Speaker 1: the world is now and how many scammers and con
- 2:09Speaker 1: artists there are, it's really important that I tell you
- 2:12Speaker 1: that this is not a scam, right, Yeah, So can
- 2:16Speaker 1: you just tell me what this is all about. Well,
- 2:18Speaker 1: first of all, I just I need to tell you
- 2:21Speaker 1: that this call is being recorded, and I do need
- 2:24Speaker 1: you to acknowledge that this is not a scam. I'm
- 2:27Speaker 1: starting to feel like it is a scam, so I'm
- 2:29Speaker 1: not sure that I want to be recorded. So yeah,
- 2:31Speaker 1: just but either state your point or I'm gonna have
- 2:34Speaker 1: to hop off the phone. Well, I can't state my
- 2:37Speaker 1: point until you acknowledge that it's not a scam. I
- 2:40Speaker 1: need to hear you say that. I'm not going to
- 2:43Speaker 1: say that because you haven't said anything other than it's
- 2:45Speaker 1: not a scam, which makes me think it's a scam.
- 2:47Speaker 1: So tell me what I'm sorry said. Then I can't
- 2:49Speaker 1: tell you what's going on then because my business Global
- 2:51Speaker 1: Industries won't allow it. But I promise you it is
- 2:53Speaker 1: very important information and not scamming. Can I just tell
- 2:57Speaker 1: you you sound like a scammer. I've calls like this before,
- 3:01Speaker 1: and you literally sound like someone who's calling to scam. Well, sir,
- 3:05Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Would a scammer stay on
- 3:08Speaker 1: the line with you this long? Absolutely a scammer would
- 3:12Speaker 1: stay on the line. That's the whole point of a
- 3:13Speaker 1: scam is they try and drag you along until the
- 3:16Speaker 1: scam happens. You're saying a scammer would stay on the
- 3:19Speaker 1: line and ask you for money. But I haven't asked
- 3:21Speaker 1: you for any money, So doesn't that prove that I'm
- 3:23Speaker 1: not a scammer. Just please stop talking in circles and
- 3:27Speaker 1: don't mention the word scam anymore. Okay, if you say
- 3:30Speaker 1: scam again, I'm gonna lose it. The only reason that
- 3:32Speaker 1: I'm saying it is because it's to prove that I'm
- 3:35Speaker 1: not doing that to you, because if I was actually
- 3:37Speaker 1: a scammer, I would probably Oh my god, you said
- 3:40Speaker 1: scam again. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm just
- 3:42Speaker 1: trying to prove to you that i'm not. As long
- 3:44Speaker 1: as you first acknowledge that this is not a scam, Fine,
- 3:47Speaker 1: it's not a scam. My god. Will you just tell
- 3:49Speaker 1: me why you called and what you have to tell me?
- 3:52Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Dave. Now, before I tell you
- 3:54Speaker 1: the important information, I would like to give you something.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Oh my god, here it comes. What vacation to the
- 4:01Speaker 1: Las Vegas. No grand in a bank account, as long
- 4:04Speaker 1: as I give you something in return, of course not.
- 4:06Speaker 1: I want to send you a keychain in the mail
- 4:09Speaker 1: saying I did not get scammed. It's a little congratulations.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Oh this is wild. Okay, send me a keychain. Okay,
- 4:21Speaker 1: so you accept the keychain. I will accept the keychain happily.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I will put my keys on it and use it
- 4:26Speaker 1: every day. Excellent. The postage for that not scam keychain
- 4:29Speaker 1: will be five thousand, three hundred and sixty two dollars.
- 4:32Speaker 1: Thank god. But Daddy, that was almost a scam, but
- 4:36Speaker 1: not a scam. This is kind of funny. I'm not
- 4:39Speaker 1: gonna lie. I'm pretty amused, but I'm also done. I
- 4:42Speaker 1: think so is that? It is that everything? So you
- 4:44Speaker 1: don't want the keychain now? No, I don't. So I
- 4:48Speaker 1: would like to send you another keychain for not falling
- 4:51Speaker 1: for that second not scam. Now, all right, you know what,
- 4:54Speaker 1: Just take me off the list, please put me on
- 4:56Speaker 1: if you have a no call list, please place me
- 4:58Speaker 1: on that list. I'm sorry, Dave, I can't to do
- 5:00Speaker 1: that because only scammers have those lists, and I don't
- 5:02Speaker 1: have a list because, as you've already acknowledged earlier in
- 5:05Speaker 1: this call, I am not a scammer. Well, I'm starting
- 5:08Speaker 1: to rethink my acknowledgement now, and so I'm done. Okay, Well,
- 5:13Speaker 1: then I'm gonna have to take back the keychain that
- 5:15Speaker 1: we were giving you. I never wanted the key chain
- 5:17Speaker 1: in the first place. You called me and offered me something,
- 5:20Speaker 1: and you want something in return. Okay, now that you
- 5:22Speaker 1: don't want it, we can send it back. Now. You
- 5:26Speaker 1: are the worst scammer on the planet. Out of all
- 5:29Speaker 1: those scammers, I've got to you are the absolute word.
- 5:33Speaker 1: What would the worst scammers set you up with a
- 5:35Speaker 1: prank phone call from your wife? I don't think so, Dave.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Wait what Yeah, I'm actually a radio host. My name's
- 5:42Speaker 1: jeff from the Showbrook and Jeffrey in the morning. We're
- 5:44Speaker 1: doing a phone tap on you, man. Yeah, are you
- 5:48Speaker 1: kidding me? No, I'm serious. Your wife Andreas set you
- 5:51Speaker 1: up because she says you're getting pissed off all the
- 5:53Speaker 1: time about the random scam calls that you get, so
- 5:56Speaker 1: she wanted us to mess with you. Does this mean
- 5:59Speaker 1: I don't get my keychain? No, you don't get a
- 6:01Speaker 1: key chain. But hey, look at the good news. At
- 6:03Speaker 1: least this wasn't a scam. Actually it kind of was. Yeah,
- 6:08Speaker 1: it kind of was a postcam. Can you acknowledge that
- 6:10Speaker 1: it was a phone scam. Yes, I got scammed. All right,
- 6:15Speaker 1: I have you on record. We're gonna send you that keychain. Congratulations, Dave.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Wake up every morning with phone tabs weekday mornings on
- 6:24Speaker 1: the twenties.
