    I've also managed to get a call back for a personal injury claim after a call handler believed I'd been attacked by a bear. 
    My thinking is, if you waste my time, I'll waste yours.
    You are now my hero!!!
    The call back was from a claims lawyer who must have been reading as he spoke to me. In one sentence his voice changed from optimistic to realising he was wasting his time.

    Pleasant Green on Youtube has fun with a lot of these types of emails. He will waste the scammers time as much as he can and show how these scams actually work. Worth a look if you haven't heard of him. Not endorsing him, I just think its good content.  


    I know them Jim browning, Pierogi etc etc...  Their new call centre initiative is a massive step against scammers and worth
    donating to.
