I won a cruise, or so he said, and I ended the call.
Telemarketing from spoofed numbers should be a capital offense.

I got a call for duct cleaning. I asked them how they would clean my duck. Being from India they had no clue at all. I somehow think he did not know what a duct was either. It was pretty funny.

Check out Jolly Roger Telephone. The founder has built a series of very effective bots that tie up telemarketers and then email you recordings of the fun.
No affiliation here, just a customer who really hates telemarketers.

For some time, I've gotten calls on my cell from OCWEN, a loan servicing company.
They want someone who may have had the phone # in the past. I tell them this, they don't listen.
After checking out Tom Mabe, I got an idea.
them: hello, is this X?
me: no, this is not x.
them: I am calling from Ocwen.
me: Akbar?
them: yes, Ocwen, have you heard of us?
me: ah, yes, Akbar, the guy in charge of ISIS, right?
them: no, Ocwen.
me: yes, Akbar. Are you trying to recruit me?
them: it is about your mortgage.
me: are you calling from Mosul?
them; no, from India.
me: oh, I did not know ISIS was in India.
them: this is Ocwen.
me: yes, Akbar. Hello, Akbar.
them: are you X?
me: no, I am not X, you are Akbar.
them: you do not have mortgage with Ocwen?
me: no, I do not want to join ISIS.
them; I will get supervisor.
me: Is the supervisor in Mosul?
supervisor: hello, this is Y with Ocwen.
me: I thought the other guy was Akbar. Are you in Mosul?
supervisor: This is Ocwen Loans. We need to talk to X.
me: Yes, you are Akbar, head of ISIS, wanting to recruit X.
supervisor: No. This is OCWEN. O-C-W-E-N. Looking for X (spells it out).
me: I see, is that the ISIS recruiting code?
supervisor: We have been calling you for somme time.
me: I guess you need more terrorists or whatever.
supervisor (beginning to sound upset): No, this is about a loan.
me: Loan?
supervisor: yes, loan.
me: But you want X. I keep telling you, I am not X.
supervisor: But this is X's phone number.
me: I don't know about that, but I saw Akbar on CNN. Head of ISIS.
supervisor (very upset): This is Ocwen, not Akbar.
me: you guys all talk funny.
supervisor: Did we call (gives number)?
me: yes.
supervisor: you are not X?
me: No, Akbar, I am not x.
supervisor: You don't have a loan with Ocwen?
me: I never met Akbar, how could I borrow money from him?
supervisor: this is mistake. I will remove your number.
me: thank you, Akbar. Good luck in Mosul.
supervisor: I am terminating this call.

Yes, a waste of time but very funny and I doubt they will ever call me again.
