scammers

[Sanguinedragon]

SO recently I have been getting phone calls from men with heavy indian accents with names like. steve, and
I swear, John Mclane.
They claim they are from a credit agency DCS ACS ETC. And i took a payday loan and they will ,come arrest me ruin my life curse me, eat my children , if I don't resolve this matter.
So anyone else getting these calls and if so how did you handle it?
Me i reported them to the fbi and then i blocked my phone number and called them back. Started insulting them , wherein i received a barrage of obscenities. Cementing in my mind that these were scammers. And called back pretending to be one of them, Heavy india accent you owe money, The guy asked if I worked there called me a dumbass and hung up.
So anyone think I should post their number and let a barrage of people call them?

Sorry bout the double post.

Edit: And to clarify I was thinking of posting the number on 4chan not here

It's shitty that some scammer randomly selected your number from some random place, but this isn't 4chan, man.

I don't think you should post their number. Just sit back and let the relevant authorities deal with it.

My favourite are the people who claim to be from the Windows Centre in London (when they have insanely heavy Indian accents and speak in VERY broken English) claiming they have detected problems with my computer.

My tactic for those bastards is when they ask me to turn on my computer, I say ok, then tell them I'll be back when it's on, then I rest the phone on the arm of my chair and walk away for a few minutes. About five minutes later I pick it up and if they're still there I say "Well, it's not ready yet, it's been very slow recently. Could be those problems you told me about!" then I put it down again and walk off for another five minutes and if they're still there when I get back I tell them I'm not buying it, and hang up.

You want severe revenge on a scammer? I'd go to 4-chan for that. Most people here would probably just, you know...get over it.

The phrase "How f*cking stupid do you think I am, *rsehole?" followed by hanging up seems to work for me. Other than that just ignore.
