I’ve been getting this call a couple of times a week for about a month and have not received any bills, either. I figured this would make a good demonstration of how to record phone calls in high quality. This Panasonic cordless phone has the smaller 2.5-millimeter jack with three conductors. I made an adapter cable using a 2.5-millimeter plug with the tip being a microphone in and ring (middle conductor) being output and wired to the black RCA jack. The third conductor, the sleeve is a common ground for the output and the input. The red RCA jack is for a microphone and it has about 1.5 volts of plug-in phantom power for electret condenser microphones.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackYou might be aware of the ‘Microsoft technician’ scam, where malware locks a person’s PC and requires them to call a number to a (fake scammer) tech support line. There are now ‘youtubers’ who call these guys and prank them. The results are often humorous. I watched one today where the ‘victim’ is doing a perfect old grandma voice for the scammer. He goes on for an hour and a half, making the scammer work for it. I cracked up so bad in the middle; I know he was on the verge of laughing out loud. He pushes the scammer over the edge. The con artist spends the last 12 or so minutes cussing and just making baby noises. You would love it! There are plenty of good samples there, too. If you search youtube for “Scammer Lost His Mind After Failed SYSKEY”, you’ll find it and probably love it.
In another, he fakes the scammer out, making him think he found a folder of “nudes”. The folder is really just filled with pictures of a hairless rodent in various poses. hahahaha
