I spoke in a previous MMP that I had received the recent scam phone call where someone on the other end says they’re with Border Control or something, where they say they’ve intercepted a suspicious package in your name and yada yada yada … I’ve never got to the end of it so I don’t know exactly what they try to scam out of people.
I’ve gotten it twice before. The first time I just hung up. The second time I engaged the guy in conversation for a minute but he wasn’t biting so I hung up. Today, oh how I wish I had gotten it on video. That was my plan the next time I got the call, but I was just walking in the door when I got it so I didn’t have time to get the laptop camera working.
Transcript as best as I can remember.
“Hello, this agent Somethng-Something from Homeland Security, how are you today?”
“I’m fantastic, how are you?”
“I’m fine. Sir, we’ve intercepted a suspicious package at the border in your name.”
“Oh no.”
“Were you expecting any packages from abroad.”
“Yes. Cocaine.”
“Pardon?”
“Cocaine. A big bale of cocaine. I’ve been waiting for it. Is that what you got?”

Followed by me collapsing on the floor in a fit of laughter.
