31 Foghorn Leghorn vs AT&T vs Spectrum

The Computer Exorcist Podcast

Tonight's Torment a Scammer episode is unique because instead of a medley of calls, I kept one scammer group on the phone for over half an hour! I'm learning not to break character too early!

This is the latest sinister scam - They call and claim to be your cable company. They apologize for the high prices and offer you a refund and eventually ask for your credit card. Of course your real company ain't gonna lower your prices! This is especially infuriating to me because I ACTUALLY go to people's homes and ACTUALLY renegotiate their cable bills with real results.

I play with them for a bit and make them slip up and claim they're AT&T one minute and Spectrum the next. When they claim their software update is going to improve my picture and sound, I betray my expertise and ask how software can somehow change the physical properties of my television. I love how it went over their heads and they just thought I was a confused old guy.

Of course I tell them my name is Foghorn Leghorn, and I love how they don't know who he is. It's just such a beautiful thing.
