It’s not nice to cuss out the scammer!

Tired of getting phone-scammed every day by people with thick Indian accents? Yeah, I know–we’re supposed to pretend it does not exist.

But never mind! Artificial Intelligence to the rescue! Now they’ve got a device that can overlay a “white American accent” on the caller’s voice as he’s speaking, and completely conceal the foreign accent (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/aug/23/voice-accent-technology-call-center-white-american).

[I shouldn’t have to say this, but I do know honest, hard-working Indians who are an asset to the community. But it’s just stupid and self-righteous to ignore this aspect of nuisance telemarketing.]

Yeah, this’ll fool everybody. The next time you get a call from “the Health Care Dept.” or “the Medicare Office,” it’ll be disguised by a whitey voiceover that only sometimes sounds like a robot and you’ll happily give the caller your credit card number… And they can scam you a dozen times a day, you’ll never catch on.

And of course the nooze media that report this don’t even mention phone scams and anybody who complains about this species of nuisance call must be a White Supremacist. (At last count, there were 11 genuine White Supremacists in North America.) Boo-hoo! People say nasty things to nuisance callers! You’re all racists out there!

I don’t know about you, but after about the 50th repetition, “This is Jake from Discover” really palls on me. I’d say something nasty if it wasn’t just a stupid robot.

 

Please Don’t Get Scammed

Inside An Indian Scam Call Center! (Spying On The Scammers) - YouTube

Patty has been watching YouTube videos created by persons trying to protect people from phone scammers operating out of India. There are many such videos

You’d think no one could possibly get hosed by someone with a thick Indian accent, calling himself Joe Black or John Brown, who doesn’t know the victim’s street address or social security number, pretending to be an agent of our Social Security Administration who should have that information on file right in front of him and not have to ask for it–I mean, really, this guy tries to get you to wire your life savings to him… and there are people in America who fall for this? Really? They actually go to the bank and withdraw, oh, $20,000 or so… and send it to this guy? Holy Moses.

‘Cause if you don’t send the money, “law enforcement” will very shortly arrest you, and you’ll be charged with drug trafficking, money laundering, credit card fraud, and anything else they might think of.

People fall for this? There must be an awful lot of terminally gullible people out there, because there’s now a whole army of scammers preying on them.

We get a passel of these phone calls every day. We just hang up, because we know it’s garbage.

I very much doubt the readers of this blog would get suckered into this; but for mercy’s sake, please spread the word! Friends don’t let friends, family members don’t let other family members, get taken in by phone scams.

I wish I knew what happened to the common sense that would ordinarily protect Americans from scam artists.

But then look how so many of our elections turn out.
