True Story From The Past

RAT ROD AL said

I got a phone call once from a guy claiming to be with The US Homeland Security. He had a very Indian accent with broken English. Went something like this.
Hello this is Habeeb , I'm am with HLS and would like to ask you some questions.
Me - No your not. haha.
Habeeb- Yes I Am.
No you not !! HaHa ha.
YES I AM
NO YOUR NOT HAHA
He got pissed and hung up on me.

There's a well-known phone scam based on this (fake HSA call), and I got it about two weeks ago when I happened to be home/took some PTO from work. I don't recall why I was in a bad mood, but I immediately told the guy to "f*** off" and hung-up on him.

(Edit: Then I blocked the number in my phone.)

My wife heard all of this, and asked who I was talking to.

Me: "Homeland Security."

She: "You told them to "f-off"?"

And then I got The Look....

Took me a few minutes to calm her down and explain what was going on.
