True story: last night we are on our way home from dinner. Donna's cell phone rings, and the ID reads "Fraud Alert." She decides we'll answer it and have some fun.
A kid comes on the line and says, "If you are stuck in a timeshare and want out, WE (name redacted) can help!"
... and we were off and running!
Donna: "Oh, man are we glad you called! Yes we are in a timeshare and we desperately want to get out!"
Scammer: "That's great! Now, let me tell you about how our exciting billing plan works -"
Me: "Only it's not a property time share, it's a mercenary company. Can you guys handle that?"
Scammer: "Oh, yes, we can get you out of any timeshare property-"
Me: "No! It's not a property. It's a mercenary company. You know, soldiers for hire?"
Scammer: "Uh ... how does that work?"
Me: "Well, you get to use them for a certain number of hours a year, they said. So, if you wanted to invade Bolivia, or somewhere, you file your plan with the office and they do it and you take the country you just invaded. But the the thing is they're never available when you want them. And the maintenance costs are insane, do you know how much it costs to fix a tank? And they're always getting shot up!"
Scammer: "Sir-"
Me: "I asked them if they even try and dodge the incoming fire, you know what they said?"
Donna is rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. A long pause, then:
Scammer: "Sir-"
Me: "You know what they call themselves? "God's Blood Horde!" I dunno, now I think about it, that sounds bad. What do you think?"
Scammer hung up. We were laughing all the way home.
