I play along with them usually they are from India/Philippines/Nigeria, they end up frustrated and hang up. Time ranges from 5-7 minutes depending on the Country.

Call it " Payback " as opposed to " PayPal. I win every time. Lately though the calls have been less frequent hmmmm I wonder why ?
Reminds me of the call I received about a year or so ago from a supposed Microsoft rep. Fella had an Indian accent and was telling me my computer had sent error messages to Microsoft and he was going fix the issue(s) if I could give him access. I broke out laughing telling him he was trying to scam me. He played the "I'm insulted" card. The conversation didn't last very long.
