Then he got immediately mad and I said I'm not bleeping stupid. His response was that he was going to bleep me. I wish I was witty enough to throw even something so obvious as "get in line", but alas I had to settle for just laughing and saying "good luck with that". Wasn't the greatest, but I was taking my sweet time with everything and took up a solid 15 minutes of his time (during which he probably could have gotten 2 people were they responding quick, very gullible, and had been sitting at their computers). These people are scum.

Hahaha, I got the same thing. I got excited, told the guy I was gay and asked where he was so I could go to him. The guy then hung up on me, the nerve.
In all seriousness, if you're stringing th me along ask for a call back number I case you get disconnected. Once you're done call the national fraud telemarketer service (the actual name escapes me at the moment) and give them the number so they can shut it down.
