"Keep 'em waitin' & baitin'!" — JS, Scam Baiter & Abuse Master
By wasting their time & passing the warnings on to you!

Jack Schist - Rocks
Scammers and/or Fraudsters
Jack Schist has a variety of tools handy to answer known scammer calls
  • Anti-Fraud Network
  • Background Noise
  • Doorbell
  • Buzzer
  • Boat/Sports Horn
  • TeleZapper
  • FakeCC Visa (13 16) MC AmEx Disc
  • Fake ID Generator
  • Fake ID Search

  • Phone Co. Subscriptions
  • Caller-ID
  • Call Forwarding
  • Call Trace
  • Caller-ID on call waiting

  • But doesn't use
  • Google Voice

  • In a New York minute the phone rings, Jack is instantly alerted that the call is suspicious or a known scammer. He starts a playback of background noise. It could be the waterfront, the flower market loading dock, Grand Central, or any number of recordings where many people are shouting over the clang and crash of heavy moving equipment. Today's selection - building demolition. As he quickly picks up the handset so the scammers predictive dialer sends HIS call to the next available boiler-room operator, he shouts "Get out of my way! No, YOU go around." then into the phone "This better be good." Hopefully the scammers start their own recording, because it means they will be listening closely for any clues. Jack reaches for his boat/sports air-horn can, laughs and whispers "Hey Sully, this call's for" a moment before he says "you" he blasts it into the microphone. "NO, asshole, you get out of MY way!" he shouts.

    There are two people listening, two playbacks and two recordings occurring at this point - theirs and Jacks. When their outgoing message playback ends, Jack will press "1" to speak to a representative.

    Jack will string them along like this for as long as he can, pumping them for identifying information "What is it you want?"; "What do you want me to do?" creating insults which would make a sailor blush, or a demolition crew beat the crap out of you. But he always mentions the number is on the National Do Not Call List, and always reports the scam to the police with *57 call-trace. Each call is recorded, transcribed, logged, and thoroughly documented. And a follow-up report is always filed. He will even give them a real, genuine gift-card number (holding 99¢ value), expiration date and CVV2 code to go with his fake name, because it identifies the merchant when they attempt an authorization. You see, when Jack is taking delight in his calls, it is a form of venting, of blowing-off steam, for Officer Schist has taken crap all day at the bunko-squad desk. What he does in his down time is his own business. But he knows how to do it - well (what he doesn't do well is talk about his pass-time in third-person.)

    A week later the scammers call back on a different number - and ask for "Sully."
    If you are a scammer, telemarketer or fraudster you would be happier if you never knew Jack Schist

    2012 Unwanted Telephone Calls Log - Q1


    SHORT & SWEET

  • ring… ring… "Yo……Speak.……Or don't" click.
  • Yo says hello but quick
  • Speak is a command to say something.
  • sometimes they sqeak hello? I'll give them a fair shake with "This is the part where you begin speaking,…"
  • The closure of the switchhook is the accompaniment to "…or don't."
  • Let's say they begin speaking, with, perhaps a name "oh you'll have to do better than that. I too can get that on the net." one more hurdle they have cleared is authentication. "Oh I'm from the bank" or many other red flag reasons to call get "O.K. I'll call you back at my branch." click. Fear not this is too abrupt, that is what makes this answering methond work, we'll get back to that call center robocall. The clerk in the headset hears Yo, not hello and is off guard thrown by the unexpected greet protocol. Speak will become familiar to family and friends with "So glad you are home, uncle Larry…" are so busting to talk and get into it but canvas callers now have two feet in the air, bewilderment hesitation marking them an easy to mash disconnect, under speed and the call center software plugs along to the next, and if they don't know what's going on here, they weren't meant to talk to you in the first place. By the way if you really need to talk and vocalize you send me a text with the topic or question I can begin preparing your reply. AND respect my time, I don't want a conversation and you won't get one if you can't start your conversation with me "Are you Busy?" or "can you give me 85 seconds about …'" I enjoy as most effective mutual respect of our time. And if you can't be for real and quick about it you have earned your place off of the shortlist.

    Even if they just learned a lesson to be quick about it and begin speaking, have no way to re-dial, and, for $10/hr., likely don't care. Mom was right when she said "If it is important they will call back."

    Tenacity doesn't always win either "I'm Sergent Ruiz del Tiajuana Policia. your [possible relation] need bail and representation."
    React only with "What does he say." and if the pre-arranged secret code word isn't revealed say "He can burn and rot." click.

    "Get to the point", "Huh?" "Skip the script. What are you trying to get to?" quickly lands the pious inbounds and deceitful in the wind. Should I actually be interested ask them to send you literature to the name and address on file."I need your name and address!" I need your phone# call you right back. scribble. click

    Home improvement offers are hurried to disconnect when you say "I see you've called back five times. So glad you rang, my attorney too. Mark us down in your little box DO NOT CALL and do not call. You're now being prosecuted at $500 per unwanted call, and if I could please have your company name and address, franchise board registration and the name of the receiving agent as we are suing for violations of cease requests and our registered "do not call" record.…do not call. You have no permission to ring this number…" it's hard to string them out this far, but if you do genuine companies will gladly supply this information, scammers are one the spot to make up something convincing. In lieu they disconnect as the alternative of least resistance. Now if only I could finish with them pitching their headset dashed on the floor saying "This job ain't worth it."

    And now for the finest effective method for laymen. Answering Machine "No one is available to take your call. Please leave a message." to that I've added an additional layer on my private residence - the phone connect to the wall through TeleZapper, I found an old one battery powered I energize when I answer live, as I reach to energize or not if it's the hospital or funeral home so as not to put them off guard so they'll talk about the heart-attacks I spurred into telemarketers, but rather connect the answering machine through a different, line-powered, Telezapper as of late to always beginning with the tri-tone error signal. Now it puts the three tone on the line any time a connection is answered. My friends get it, know to keep talking anyways, but the rouge-o-call knows that not then proceeds to automatically mark the number dead.

    Those who know get through, those who don't, don't. Forewarned is forearmed. Battle safely.


    DNC - Why the National Do-Not-Call List is BROKEN! It was designed to be easily cracked, it leaks to start with, and skims more scum than a yellow-jacket wasp over a stagnant slimy mosquito swamp.

    The U.S. Federal Government could have protected our privacy and our unpublished telephone numbers. If their system was designed to accept the telephone lists from compliant telemarketers, then filter that list for a small fee - returning only the numbers which were not blocked, some of those numbers would still remain unpublished. Using that method, it would still be possible for the unscrupulous telemarketer to determine which of their numbers they had previously collected were on the DNC by comparing the original with the results and flagging their original records which didn't return as DNC.
    But the DNC collects all the numbers which citizens insist not be harassed and PUBLISHES ALL OF THEM in one huge list! For a small fee, anyone in the world can obtain the target rich collection of the numbers not to be bothered. They don't even need ONE telephone line to do it!
    Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) facilitates setting up an offshore boiler-room filled with obsolete e-waste PCs, English speaking agents and loading the latest DNC list into Dial IT Skype/ for Sage ACT! CallCenter, connect it to a power mains electric outlet and a wide-band internet connection they can skirt and scoff our laws and extradition by merely skirting our borders.

    They ALREADY KNOW you are on the National Do-Not-Call-List!

    It was THE SOURCE OF THEIR OUT-CALL LIST!

    They are violating the Telemarketing Sales Rule which states that the National Do Not Call Registry Web site (telemarketing.donotcall.gov) is solely for use by organizations required to comply with the provisions of the Federal Trade Commission's amended Telemarketing Sales Rule, 16 CFR Part 310, or the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and Regulations Implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 CFR Section 64.1200; as well as organizations otherwise accessing the National Registry solely to prevent telephone calls to telephone numbers in the National Registry.

    Stupidhead paralegal research details: on Political Opinions of America, who have become our new special friend of Yakko, Wakko and Dot Warner. They get special treatment, serve them royally, with a subpoena. Their attorney is Law Office of Joseph W. Sanscrainte, 1120 Avenue of the Americas Suite 4188 New York, NY 10036 Office: 212-626-6934 Cell: 516-841-6535 Email: jws@sanscrainte.com
    "Political Survey" is their excuse to circumvent the National Do Not Call regulations.

    Call type: Scammers/Fraudsters
    Buster PhishingScam received this Robo-call: "Hello this is John from Political Opinions of America, you have been carefully selected to participate in a short 30 second research survey and for participating you will a free 2 day cruise for 2 people to the Bahamas courtesy of one of our supporters. Gratuities and a small Port Tax will apply[$185]. To begin the survey please press one now, to decline the survey and be removed from our list, press 9" or other lies claiming to be a variety of home improvement contractors, computer virus repair or offering a free gift card.

    Here is the truth! Hard Sell of Condo-timeshare! There are actually TWO SCAMS here, the initial cold-call canvassers who get paid by reserving your "free vacation +$185 port fees" on a CREDIT CARD number. Then on your cruise from hell (Caribbean Cruise Line, 2419 E Commercial Blvd., Suite 100, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308 - DBA Celebration Cruise Line, LLC.) while the high pressure vacation rental condominium sales crew trap you in marketing prison with a chance of drowning, they have the opportunity to loot your vacant home and spend spree on your credit card. Priceless or worthless, awesome or awful, vacation or vacant?
         These
        SCAM artists
       SPOOF CallerID to
      FRAUD DataMine Phishing for ANY personal information!
     HANG UP! If you say "hello" and hear nothing - disconnect then dial *57.
    Protect yourself! SAY NOTHING! 2 second silence is recorded to gather intelligence on you. All data is saved in their database and used to pry more from you the next time they call. And they WILL call again. Answer no questions. Don't dial a menu choice! DOn't EVEN VERIFY YOUR NAME! Tell them NOTHING! Just disconnect (hang-up) and then dial *57.
    If you feel compelled to speak, repeat only this:
    "Do not call. We are registered on the national do not call list. Each violation will be prosecuted at $500 penalty. DO NOT CALL!" then disconnect and
    *57 [DIAL star five-seven] to send a call trace to law enforcement.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malicious_Caller_Identification
    Remember to follow-up and file a formal police report. Before the malicious call, you may need to subscribe to Malicious Caller Identification service from your telephone provider to activate the trace.

    The FIRST TRICK "Can I ask you to verify your name?" They already know your name, address and, obviously, phone number - they did their homework first. Using Dial IT Skype for Sage ACT! to collect your personal data and filling in as much of your record as they could by searching online resources before they ever called you the first time. By asking you to verify your name, they are actually tricking you into saying an affirmative word, such as "Yes", "That's right", "I am" et cetera. Each call is entirely recorded, including the outgoing message portion and as much information they can get from the background sound at your location is collected entered and saved in their scamming database. If you prosecute, they will edit your spoken affirmation appended to "May we establish a business relationship?" You may be trapped as a receptionist and prevented from disconnecting on the spot, even though you know you should hang-up immediately. They might start the call with a variety of questions such as "May we talk to the business owner?" Respond with "And you are?" Insist they identify themselves - collect callers name, who they represent, their telephone number, email and website. Legitimate callers will provide that information gladly, scammers balk and hang-up. Legitimate callers will provide their name and who they represent at the beginning of the call without prompting, according to natural protocol. But don't fall for saying "yes" or even "uh-huh".

    RED FLAG! Another trick to appear legitimate is a regurgitated gallup.com RSS newsfeed on the main page, which is the only valid information PO America presents on their politicalopinionsofamerica.org website. Nowhere on the site is there a telephone number or address or even a way to engage their services. To convince you, the sucker, that they are legitimate they have a professional looking website, but the entire site is a scam to collect more leads to be placed on their lists, because by submitting any form, you are "establishing a business relationship."

    DOn't CALL BACK! That would "establish a business relationship" and instead of being removed from their call list, you are indeed validating that a human ear is responding to the Turing Test and placed permanently ON their SUCKERS LIST.
    If you return the call to the number listed on Caller Identification later you would get a disconnected error message. If you call them back immediately you would hear " Hello this is Amy from Political Opinions of America. You were called to participate in a survey and now the survey has expired.
    If you do not want to participate in any future surveys press one now.
    [1 pressed] Thank you for your time, your phone number will be permanently removed from our list."
    Anyone in the response center will claim to be Ann or John from Political Opinions of America or other lies. If you contact them or respond in any way, such as "Take us off your list" by opting-out online or by dialing 1, 2 or 9 during the call you are "establishing a business relationship".

    ‡‡ Solution: Google Voice lone stranger replies to Lucy Dorney
    27 Apr 2012
    to explain a rational solution to scammers/spammers and annoying/harassing phone calls.

    I was using TeleZapper[Wikipedia] a device which would make the three-tone intercept error sound Special Information Tone[Wikipedia] which precedes the number changed or disconnected error messages in the phone company circuitry. I was practiced at repeating "We're sorry, the number you dialed is not in service, and there is no new number." then flashing the switchhook so the tones would play again - then rinse and repeat until the line cleared. It was only semi-effective at removing my number from the lists of spammer/scammers, but the problem was that I still had to waste my time pursuing the goal. When I had to move, the next lucky owner received far fewer spam/scam calls, and I was then unable to benefit from all the work I did. TeleZapper[official site] was the best technology for the task at the time. Google Voice now provides a better solution.

    Lucy,

    Let me offer a suggestion for getting these creeps out of your life. I am going to assume that you have both a landline phone and a cell phone. If you only have one or the other, let me know.

    First, sign up for a free Google Voice account. Be sure to choose the option to have Google Voice automaticallyy block known spammers. [Settings(gears), Calls tab, Global Spam Filtering (at the bottom), √ 'Send calls and text messages from numbers identified as spam by Google directly to the Spam folder.'] Following the links on the web page, set Google Voice to be the voice mail for your cell phone (you will have to dial some codes on your phone). Set Google Voice to send you a text message and/or email when you have a message. Now, use call forwarding on your landline phone to forward all calls to Google Voice. At this point, if someone calls your home phone, the call will go through Google Voice, and end up either at your voice mail, or, if blocked, at a disconnected line message. Some spam calls will be automaticallyy blocked, others you will have to block manually on the web site. At this point you will be able to eliminate spam callers from your landline. Other callers will get voicemail, and you will be notified by SMS or email.

    Now, go into the contacts on Google Voice, and set up a group for those folks you always want to get through. Enter in their names and numbers. Assign them to be forwarded to your cell phone when they call. Now important callers will ring through straight to your cell phone when they call the house.

    Now for cell phone pests. Assign unwanted callers to your phone's contact list, with "zzz" in front of the name, like "zzzRotten B@st@rds". If your phone supports it, assign them a ring tone of "silent". If not, use a ring tone creator to create a "1 second of silence" ring tone, and assign that to them. If you can't do that, then just use the least annoying ring tone, and know to ignore that one. When a blocked spammer calls, let the call roll over to voice mail. Google will give them a line disconnected message. If you happen to miss a legitimate call, Google will take a message, and send you an email or text message to notify you of the call.

    At this point, friends and family will get through, but blocked callers will not. And all for free!

    I know this may seem a little complicated, but it is easier to do than it is to explain. I hope this helps.

    Good Luck.
