I've told this story before. I was hanging out in a Captain Jack Thomas airport, El Dorado, waiting to talk with my instructor some years ago, and an arthritic appearing elderly couple limped in after parking their rusted out 40 year old pickup near the front door. They just sat there and waited for a long time. After a while I asked if they were meeting someone at the airport. The gentleman said he was supposed to meet an agent of the IRS. He said the agent had called them and made them pay all they could, by check, last week, but now they will pay more, in cash, at the airport. I told them no real IRS agent would ever demand payment by phone, or in person at an airport. They just looked at each other and left. I felt bad for them. The scammers cause real harm to real people. Prison. That is what these scammers need to make them better humans.

No.

Prison is too good.

They deserve to die, but slowly and painfully. As slow, tortuously and as miserable as possible. Evil does not even begin to describe the scammers. String 'em up and skin 'em alive. Give them just enough water and food to stay alive and alert so they feel... I mean really feel the pain over hours... days... weeks.... whatever it takes. 24/7 - constant, unrelenting pain.

Alternatively, we could have them listen to endless Disco from the late 70's.

That'll do it.

Scammers should be arrested and charged with impersonating a human being.

As most of you know, Cindy's 91 year old mom lives with us now and I had her home phone moved over here while keeping her old number.

This Publishers Clearing House harassment along with numerous other scammers who have her on their hit list has been relentless. It's like they all know she's an old widow lady and they have their cross hairs squarely set between her eyes.

It's so bad that we unplugged her phone to stop all incoming calls and only plug it back in when she wants to call out to one of her few remaining friends that are still alive. There's only one or two left as she's outlived most of them at this point.

What a joke these scum sucking maggots are.....they're lower that whale do-do on the bottom of the ocean and I'm trying to be polite.

My neighbor had a scammer call him last year about a collector muscle car he was selling. Sensing the scammer was from a foreign country he decided to play along. He told the scammer that he would set up the escrow account as the scammer instructed. Now the funny part, my neighbor told the scammer his wife was a witch, and if this was a scam his wife would put a curse on him and his family that would last for three years. The scammer immediately hung up.

I empathize with what Jim and Cindy are dealing with her 91 year old mother. I had to take over my 92 year old mother’s finances several years ago to attempt to stop the scammers and still receive at least one “chain” letter solicitation per day.
Somewhere out there on the dark web they have my mother as an easy mark. She’s now in assisted living, so I don’t think she’ll be able to pay the taxes on that new Mercedes she won from Publishers Clearing house!

My wife had to recently take over her parents account after her mother was scammed for the third time...my wife also had the phone disconnected...terrible.

This is one of the highlights of this year, that I discovered there is an entire genre of videos on YouTube, and an entire subculture of people that mess with these scammers.

I love seeing these guys get messed with.

Just got a call from the same scammer that called me two weeks ago saying he was with the Cessna Division of eBay Motors. The fool should have waited long enough for me to forget his voice!
