  • One of these scam companies phoned me last Friday so I had a great time messing him around for 30 minutes, when he realised he was being mislead on purpose he got very angry, called me a m*therf**ker and said I should go back to hell! Luckilly I recorded the whole thing so put the highlights in a video and uploaded it! ;-)
