In BC we regularly get scams like missed delivery, order confirmation for something expensive, or your social insurance number will get cancelled. These are such an annoyance that I started making it into a game instead. They mostly target the Chinese population, which in bc is quite large, and I'm assuming are ran from China. Each of the calls end with a "press 1 for English and 2 for Chinese". If you choose 1 the line hangs. If you choose 2 you get a Chinese person on the line. Sometimes the message is directly in Chinese and you need to guess the right key. I programmed some diatribe in Chinese in Google translate from my bookmarks toolbar. Once in a while I get an Indian call center, mostly pretending to be Amazon with an order for an iPhone, which then veers into "someone stole your identity". If you reply with a younger voice, they hang. If I make an old person's voice, they stay with me. The more lost I sound, the harder the catch. I'm playing at keeping them on the line the longest time possible. It's fun cause they employ a few traps like asking for your birthdate then your age, or asking for some piece of information like your SIN a few times to validate you don't BS them. My backstory is getting better and better. It's kind of like beating a boss everytime you pass one. Nowadays I'm excited when I receive one, because I get to play. But it's only a matter of time before my parents get trapped
