Shoutout to listener Steve T who heard about me on the War Room with Jim Quinn. He said he loved these scammer episodes, so I'm dedicating this one to you.

The first one is a tech support scammer. My personal favorite moments:

• "What's your name again, young lady?" - "(Sigh) My name is Andy."
• "You don't need to subscribe the Twitter."
• "Do you have some hearing problem?"

The next one is a Geek Squad impersonator email; thanks to my client Tony the Insurance Guy for this one.

They send you a fake email that scares you into thinking you were billed for something. Then conveniently, they add: "To dispute, call this number." Well, I called.

• "I got an email that says Greek Squad."
• "I've never heard of Microsoft H."

I then tell him I'm an AOL user and play the dialup noises from the 1990s AOL experience. I can't imagine the look on his face.

• The guy eventually hung up, so I had to call his office back.
• These emails always come from fake names like "[email protected]" since it's so incredibly easy for scammers to create Outlook accounts. So I called and asked for Florene and the guy went with it!

The final mini clip is one where they send a very fake email. Instead of zeroes in their evil phone number, they use the letter O, presumably to evade spam detection, or filter out smart people. I call them out on it.

• "Which bread is my computer?"
• "That would look nice if they put chrome on the computer, make it look shiny like the front of my car..."

If you loved this episode, please pass it along to a friend!
