Default Feel like messing with someone today?

Two or three times a week for several months I get a phone call from an automated caller asking me to consolidate my debt. Being fed up with it I call them. Of course, you are switched to a call center in India. The first time I called I asked immediately to take me off the call list. They hang up on me.

I call back. This time I play with them a little bit and say I want to speak to an agent about consilidating my debt. They ask what my debt is and I say $100,000. They ask what kind of debt and I say credit cards, medical bills, and pornography. They ask what kind of debt again. I tell them again. Then they ask how much was medical and I said only about 1,000 was medical and the majority was from pornography. Then I was told that I did not qualify for the program. Then I say that it is okay and only wanted to get my number of the call list. They hung up. On me. I never spoke with an "agent".

I call back. Tell them I wanted to speak with an agent about my debt and tell them I have 15,000 in medical bills. I get an agent who wants to tell me about the program. I say I am not interested and want to be taken off the call list. They hang up.

This last time I call tell them I had 20,000 in medical bills and asked if it mattered how I hurt myself. He says no. I say good because the dislocated my elbow masturbating. Slight pause. "No sir, it does not matter how you hurt yourself". Good. He then proceeds to tell me I qualify and asks my first name. I say Jack. "And your last name, sir?" "Meoff" I reply. "May-hoff, sir. Can you spell it?" "Yes, M E O F F". "Thank you Mr. Jack Mayhoff for calling today." A few more sentences are spoken and he must have realized what I was doing. "Are you wanting consolidate debt or are you playing around?" I said I was playing around and wanted to be taken off their call list. They hang up.

So with that said, since they are not wanting to take me off the call list, I am going to broadcast there number on the internet. Now, it is completly up to you, but if you feel like messing with someone today, please call 1-800-713-8797. Make sure you say you have medical debt. It appears to be their specialty.

Thanks and have a good day.

just be careful it's not one of those scams like when you get ***-raped for long distance to a remote island.


on a lighter note, isn't there something online where you can type their number then type what you want to say in a dialog to them??

It's like a teletype thing. I think it's was originally designed for deaf people

You log on (it's free), you type back and forth to the operator, but the operator talks back and forth with the other party. www.ip-relay.com
