That's actually pretty funny, but I'm guessing the real scammers will hang up after a minute or so, and move on to the next customer on their list.



Could be staged, but if they think they have a sucker on the hook they'll stay with it. I've done that a few times.

Telemarketers are taught that the longer they keep you on the line, the less likely you are to hang up and will listen to their pitch. That's why they say "How Are You Today?" instead of telling right off what they want.
