Welcome to the Scam/Spam page. I have never liked phone spam, and I sure don't like Phone Scams either, but since I get them, I figure I might as well have some fun with them.
Since I'm retired, I didn't want to become the old fart that sits on the front porch and yell at the kids to get off my lawn, but instead became a "Modern Day Retiree", and sit on the couch and yell at telemarketers to get the hell off my phone. Over time I have recorded a few hundred calls, some with strange results, some interesting conversations, and some where they just get nasty, and at times so do I..
I never give them real information, and I have even had scammers call me days later asking if I was the fake name I had given other scammers.. So the word does get around..
You would think that after over 3 years of me giving them grief they would take my name off their list, but they must be suckers for punishment..
Just so you know, I use the name "Bengerman Dover", and I spell Benjamin different, so you know they are fill of..... But you can just call me Ben Dover..

Just Call Me Chicken!
Phone Spam from Pharmacies seem to have taken over most of the spam calls. They want some of that Medicare money, and want to ship you Covid 19 self tests for free. I keep telling them that the Plandemic is over, and we don't need them, but they call at least 3 or more times a week.
This time I just had to release my inner Chicken..
The Bitch Slap!
I guess because of the nasty Economy, they feel they can make things worse, and take what little money people have left in a Debt Relief Scam. So I'm never easy on them, and nasty words can fly at times..
So get ready to plug your ears, or skip this one because a few of the Nasties do fly on this one
The DNC Problem
We've been on the "Do Not Call" list for over a Decade now, but it hasn't stopped people from trying to get around it. They believe that if they have another office call, and then transfer the call after talking about the DNC relives them from the crime.. Doesn't work that way, and I told them about it..
Fraud from Mamazon!
This one shows just what they are after, and once they figure they have information that would allow them to take money out of your bank, they hang up..
I would love to be a fly on the wall when they call the bank and try to take money out of this made-up account from Bengerman Dover. LOL
Freedom Debt Relief!
Short and Sweet, but what's that got to do with my Mother?
Mamazon called 3 times in a row!
This bunch of Scammers called one after the other, 3 calls in a row. So I just put them all together.
Mamazon & Shitty Bank!
Mamazon scam trying to get Credit Card information. This is always fun playing with their heads, and wasting their time..
And He Got High!
Social Security Scam turns Funny..
Microsoft Windows Scam!
The Microsoft Windows Scam is when they call you, and want to access your computer via a Remote Desktop app they get you to download and install. This is all under the guise of fixing your computer, but instead lock it up and demand money to release it. Most of the time they convince people by letting you look at the Logs that only show problems your system had during operations. You can see them in the "Event Viewer", and is only used to let you know what problems the system had, so you can tune up the system if you want.
Who Said That?
As I was talking to this person, a voice out of nowhere has a little something to say..
Do you want to buy this?
Well it was time for me to try and scam them for a change..
Sold!
I Sold It!
I Got Kicked!
I guess I asked too many questions, and he Kicked Me!
Medicare Fraud!
These people always work to get either your Credit card or Debit card information, or your Medicare Information. After awhile they figure out you're on to them, and they hang up... LOL
My Home Town Bank!
National Debt Relief loves me, as I use "My Home Town Bank", and not a major bank.
Utilities Discount and Security Systems!
This was a strange one, first he was going to give me a Discount on my Utilities, and this has always been they want to return money to you, and ask for a credit or debit card to give you the refund. But this turned into him trying to sell me a Security System. I had to explain to him that We were Secure..
Mir Card
Card Services doesn't take the Russian Mir Card..
Mamazon and Shitty Bank!
Wow, Bengerman Dover has 7 Mamazon Accounts, and 15 Banks attached to them. Sounds like Bengerman has had his Identity stolen.
Capital Zoo Card!
Where is Capital One? What? Zoo Card? Okay, but sorry, I don't give out that information over the phone. So close but yet so far
This is how bad it's getting!
The good old Cable Box scam, where they tell you they are upgrading your Cable Box, and you need to pay a "Security Fee" that you will get back on your monthly bill. Right at the end of one scam, another scammer is calling in, so I picked up that call as well..
My Home Town Zoo Bank!
Some get pissed, and other just hang up, but at least they understand that some of us are just getting even for wasting our time, and waste their time as well.
I'm Not Well
This poor guy was sick, and needed help as he was also Constipated. So I tried to help him out a little..
Was That George Harrison Music?
This one had different music while on hold waiting for them to pick up, and it was kind of nice for a change. That's not what he wanted to talk about, as he wanted our Credit Card Number. Sorry, I like the music instead
Medicare Confusion
So he wanted to know my age.. LOL Okay, let me think... Then he went to transfer me, and that's where things get interesting. We had a nice little conversation about the Do Not Call list. Strange Lady to say the least.. But it was just an Awesome, Yep Yep Yep..
The Final Expense Supermarket
They just keep looking for someone to buy their insurance, but I'm never interested. This sure takes up a lot of their time, but as for me, I'm just having fun. Strange how they always ask about if I'm retired and if I have an income. The big problem is that darned Do Not Call List that always gets in their way..
Free Covid-19 Test Kits
The guy who answered didn't bat an eye on the Bengerman Dover name, but the Gal at the Pharmacy sure did.. LOL
Publishers Clearing House Scam
They keep trying to scam you with bogus winnings, but we haven't entered, so how could we win? He wanted to keep this secret, even from my wife.. I gave him hell, and hung up on him, but he called back and got nasty.. But it was fun..
Interesting Conversations
Every Now and Then I managed to strike up a conversation with the caller, and then it becomes, an Interesting Conversation.
Pakistan Conversation!
From time to time I get a Phone Scammer to strike up a conversation. Figuring out something that might catch their interest, and seeing what they have to say about it is the goal. I have often wondered how it is that our Government is so good at figuring out who hacked what and when, but for some reason have never been able to stop Phone Scams. I had my ideas, but then I would just be branded a conspiracy theorist, and poo pooed, as they do most people who go against the accepted talking points.
Well, when you get conformation from the people who are doing the scamming, I think says a lot about my theory.
At the end, he says, 'iin sha' allah, and that means in translation, God Willing..
Amazon Scam turns into conversation about Elon Musk vs Jeff Bezos Rockets..
This was another Amazon Scam, but I had got a few of them that day, so kind of ended the scam sooner than I normally do. Come to find out, this scammers didn't know Jeff Bezos had his own Rocket.
In the end it was a very funny conversation...
Another Pakistan Conversation
Another Interesting conversation with a guy from Pakistan. This time he had another guy on the phone from Seattle Washington, and put us in a 3 way conversation. Interesting to chat with people like this, and is the only kind of scam calls I enjoy.
Honest Home Warranty Scammer
I was lucky to get to my recorder for this one, as he told me how the scam works. Every now and then you get a person that is really nice.
Fishing For Many People
Talking to the guy, said he was sitting next to a Cab Driver who was a major scammer, and he wanted to Scam Joe Brandon & Donald Trump..
