I'm so stressed out today (private matters). But everything turned around when my phone rang. I looked at it and it was from an unknown caller. I answered it anyway, and the caller told me they have a job opening and asking if I'm interested. He told me he works for a multi-billion dollar company and is asking me if I'm ok with a "No Strings Attached" job.
Ok, it's obviously a pyramiding scam, but I love it when these guys call me. I get the chance to make a fool out of them. Anyway, the conversation goes on like this…
| Caller: | Blah blah blah (describing his imaginary company for like 1-2 minutes) |
| Me: | What's the company's name? |
| Caller: | You're a graduate of DLSU right? |
| Me: | ... yeah... so... what's the company's name? |
| Caller: | Well actually I am currently working for 4 different multi-billion dollar companies. |
| Me: | ... so... the companies' name? |
| Caller: | I already told you, I work for 4 different companies. |
| Me: | ... you can't even tell me your company's name? |
| My mom besides me: | What are you doing? |
| Caller: | Are you interested in this job? |
| Me: | This is a pyramiding scam right? |
| My mom besides me: | What?! |
| Caller: | What?! No it's not! Blah blah blah |
| Me: | You can't even give me your company's name |
| My mom besides me: | Stop that! |
| Me to my mom: | But it's fuuuun |
| Caller: | This is not a pyramiding scam! (sort of shouting) |
| Me: | Why are you angry? |
| Caller: | I'm not angry! (Shouting) |
| Me: | Whatever you say. |
| Caller: | THIS IS NOT A PYRAMIDING SCAM! I DON'T LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE!!! @%$#^&!!! |
| Me: | Yeah… I don't like you too… (trying so hard not to laugh) |
| Caller: | @#$%^&!!! (raging) |
| Me: | Bye bye! (with a cheerful tone) *hangs up* |
| My mom besides me: | You're so mean! |
| Me: | Yeah... but he deserves it |
He sure knows how to curse, haha. Clearly this isn't my first time making a fool out of them, but today's timing was perfect. I need to throw my stress away and here comes this guy waiting to be thrown at. Now I want a phone that can record my conversations so I can share them with you. haha. Anyway, be careful with these scammers, here are some tips you should know:
- They will mention that they're a billion-dollar/ multi-billion-dollar/ multi-something or something similar kind of company.
- They will mention "No Strings Attached".
- Won't tell you their company name (because they have none) [some will tell you a fake company name]
- If their "name" is unfamiliar, try asking for their website. Most companies now have their own websites (and these scammers have none).
- If you did managed to schedule for an "interview", the scammer won't mention that you need to bring your resume/CV.
And if you're confident enough that you're talking to a scammer. Do what I do! Make them cry! HAHA!
