Last Sunday my home phone was ringing off the hook.  In the course of about an hour and half, I must have gotten about 3 dozen calls from Olivia at Amazon.  Given what I do for a living, I have to answer the damn phone.

 

Funnily enough, three of the numbers that were calling were my number.

 

After putting up with the damned thing ringing every 5 minutes, I pressed one.

 

Noise in the back ground.

 

"Good Afternoon, RCMP Anti-Fraud Centre.  Constable John Smith speaking.  How may I help you?"

 

"Hello, we are being calling about your Amazon account."

 

"Yes, Constable Smith speaking."

 

"Hello, yes.  We have noticed a charge on your Amazon account for a $695.10 IPhone.  Did you make the charge?"

 

"You are aware that you've called the RCMP Anti-Fraud Centre?  You are speaking with a police officer?"

 

"Yes, yes.  I hear you."

 

"So, would you like to file a complaint?"

 

DIAL TONE.

 

Bastards haven't called back.

 

I loved my husband's statement afterwards:

 

"You know you've just committed a crime"

 

I'm like, "Yeah, I know.  Not that I give a f**k.   Jesus, I'd love to be in on that call.  "Hello, I would like to file charges of Impersonating a Police Officer against this man.  I called him up trying to steal his money, and he said he was a policeman.  Which he isn't.  Can you go and arrest him please.""

 

Now he's amazed it worked.  Bastards stopped calling.

 

 

Thats hilarious

3 calls in a half hour on Nov. 11. I was finally ready to "play". 

 

Same Amazon setup, blah blah blah.

 

My response was "You called me! You should know what I wanted to speak about."

 

And dial tone and no more calls for the remainder of the day.
