Has anyone posted Kreosan yet? These guys are awesome and I've been watching them all morning.
I think this is my favorite so far. I'd never seen it with english subtitles until today.

Their magnetron videos are pretty great too.

Just out of curiosity, how many of us speak Russian. Kreosan looks awesome.

Yeah, that would be ideal. Some of their videos have english captioning you can turn on and the ones with russian subtitles can be autotranslated but you get some sort of word salad nonsense half the time.

I'd really like a translation for this one:

I've been toying with them for a while now. Good fun. They called me first, so then I reported them and now I'm calling them. Good times.
Finally got through to the "advisors" and verbally filled out an application looking for continuing education or employment in the hamster condominium constructing trade. Glorious pay dirt! If you play along long enough you get through to real people!
I really need to be recording this shit. I call in and talk through the robo prompts (that are manned by live people) for a while, long enough to get them invested with their time. Then I say something dirty or stupid. At this point, the robo voice button pushers either hang up on me or they play along. Shit gets down right hilarious. Especially if they put me through to a live advisor after I give them a fake name like Manmeat McNuggins. Then the Indian advisor has to repeat the name back to me. Fucking perfect, I love fucking with scamming cocksuckers and if nothing else, wasting their time.

There's been a recent wave of scam calls going around lately. And there's perhaps nothing I love more than fucking with these people. So far in the past week or so I've received calls from these numbers. All offering the same FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM!!! Who could pass up a FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM??? NOT ME!!!!

720-907-1398
802-732-9513
206-946-9842

So if you want a FREE HOME SECURITY SYSTEM just give them a call. It seems they have some incoming call avoidance in place where they have a fake recording that says the number you've called has been disconnected but it's clearly bogus. I've managed to get through after a few days of trying. First time I tried calling I was able to get through fine and I made it through the robo voice to a real lady. I gave her my real name, Cock N'Balls, and she tried repeating it back to me but clearly didn't understand what I was saying. When she asked where I lived, I told her my real address, Cock and Balls, then the thought I was playing around and hung up on me and immediately blocked my number from calling back but I just got through so I guess that expires after a while.

Anyway, if you know of any fun games to have with these people, have at it.

UPDATE:
So I just got a call from this number 214-447-7468. The company claimed to be Alliance Security. I made it all the way to giving them billing information over the phone before they hung up on me.

UPDATE #2
Apparently Alliance is a real company? Anyway I just gave them the address to city hall, went through all the motions and they're supposedly sending a guy out to do the initial consultation tonight. THIS IS AWESOME. How many fake appointments can we set up????

Holy Fuck I Fuck with these people all the time too. I usually just go along with them and ask really stupid questions until they get tired of trying. I get a lot of calls from Jamaica saying they're from publishers clearing house. I always answer the phone with a Jamaican accent saying ya Mon! Then I just keep the dumb accent going and say inappropriate things. I also got a call from one claiming they knew I had taken a blood thinner and wanted to give keywords a cash settlement. I acted like I was really pissed about them accessing my medical information.

My favorites are the ones who tell me my computer is infected with a virus. Once I acted all excited and worried, and told the guy I was following his directions. Then I paused. I said, "It's doing something. The screen's all bright. A face is appearing. Oh my God, it's smoking! My computer is smoking! Satan is in my computer! Help me, help me God and Jesus!" Then I screamed and hung up.

haha I work for an IT company and we even get the helpdesk scam calls. We just fuck with them as much as we can. We figure the more time we keep them on the phone, the less time they have to scam people. We usually try to see how many people we can transfer them to in the office before they hang up. Or I'll play along and nothing they are telling me to do is working because I'm running Debian :). After I tell them I'm running Debian Linux they hang up.
