12775916, So I used to work for a relay phone call center Posted by Amritsar, Wed Apr-08-15 07:12 PM
Relay phone calls are supposed to be used for deaf ppl
But the Nigerian scammers figured out a way to use the service.
We legally HAD to act as operator for these scammers posing as deaf ppl. I've sat through probably hundreds of calls between scammers and their victims. Most of the victims seemed to be lonely middle aged people who I'm sure were single and just looking for love. Some were out as much as $90,000. Paid to the scammer so they could "take care of a sick mother". Shit like that
The scammers would say things like how much they love the victim, can't wait to be with them, sometimes even dirty talk.
And I had to say pretty much whatever the scammer typed on the screen. Finally I got sick of it and looked up Nigerian curse words to troll them.
