This call center is a large one… Just had a really wild call that lasted over 15 minutes! Probably the longest call of my scambaiting career. But this wasn’t a typical bait, and I didn’t curse once. After politely inquiring if he received the mandatory Walmart customer service training about “Operation Chakra” I got him to admit that he knew what it was and we talked about it for a little bit. I came out early with “I know this is all a scam, you are the kinds of operations the CBI are targeting here, aren’t you concerned?”
Long story short – I think I actually convinced this guy that he needs to put his exit plan together sooner than later. Got him to admit that his mom thinks he works a legit cs job and she’d be ashamed if she knew the truth. I commended his better-than-average English skills and reminded him that a true criminal would have hung up long ago. Told him that there’s nothing stopping him from sitting down with ChatGPT to brainstorm ideas for how to start his own call center to pursue legit work and how much better his karma and reputation would be if he could do that. Really stressed that right now he’s a piece of shit because even though he’s a nice guy he goes to work every day and steals money from strangers – but he gets to make that choice every day and tomorrow he could try something different. Dude was either an incredibly good liar or he really did get moved a bit from my arguments. I’m pretty sure I planted some seeds. Even though I’m a hardcore agnostic I told him I’d pray for him because I figured that might land. Wild call.
I really need to start recording these.

I have heard the same thing for 16 years from these guys. Trying to convince me that they are reformed and that they are leaving. Blah blah blah and it is all lies. He probably laughed at you when he hung up and told all his pajeet friends how he fooled you.
“Number has been reported for fraudulent activity” message on their number when you call. IP horizon is the carrier
I disagree. Hardened criminals don’t spend 15 minutes chatting they just hang up.
Oh, yes they do. Especially if you are a woman. I have had them ask for green cards and to marry me to come to the USA. I have had almost two decades of experience with this, bless your heart. My first scammer called in 2009 as an IRS scammer. But long before that I got Microsoft scams on dial up. I have spoken with hundreds of not thousands of these thugs and they do not reform. The money is too easy. I did a scambait that lasted four days on here in 2019 with him thinking I would be his wife and marry him,
