RB (with Sherry’s voice) vs Michael & Brent & Kevin Miller – GeekSquad

Refund Amount: $499; $180 first

Scam Amount: $1,800.00; then $18,000.00

 

He connected the computers. She filled out the refund form and checked her bank account, but there was no link there.

 

We were transferred to Brent. He taught us about the World Bank and said a bunch of things that made us all feel less smart than when the call started. He does business tours or something. The more he told us about banks, the less we understood.

 

She was thinking about getting into business with flying squirrels or pigeons.

He told us he had a 200-year-old rooster, but then said he bred them for 200 years or something like that.

 

He said we needed to use a gateway to send money. He was trying to explain how it all worked, but we weren’t understanding him and had many questions.

 

He tried to explain how taxes work. We understood what he was saying and decided to just keep the money since he said there was no reason not to. We booped in his face. He called back.

 

He said that we would be stealing money if we kept it. He said he would transfer us to an FTC officer, Kevin Miller…. But it sounded like the same guy. We insisted that we paid $18,000 initially, so this refund was correct. They just pressed the “refund” button, so that meant this was the correct amount. We were just asking him to check his work and do his job properly. He couldn’t be right because the numbers didn’t add up.

 

He said he would take legal action and we would go behind the bars. He kept taking their side instead of listening to us.

 

He called us out for having a fake bank account, but didn’t make much sense about it. We told him we would keep the money, then booped in his face.

 

He called back. We answered the phone with a fake voicemail message. He started saying rude things, so we booped in his face. But then he tried to change the computer password and couldn’t. He obviously wasn’t sure that we were pranking, because he kept going with the scam anyway. He called back, but we didn’t answer.

JW / Banks vs Mark Williams & Jordan Parker — Amazon

Refund Amount: $579.00 graphic card

Scam Amount: $15.79, then $15,790.00

Transaction ID#1064786

 

He connected the computers and she filled out the form.

 

We were transferred to the refund officer, Jordan Parker. He is terrible at his job and couldn’t even get the amount on the screen to be the correct wrong amount. Once he finally got it right, he immediately got a call from the bank in London.

 

After checking her bank account, he didn’t understand that the refund hadn’t gone into her bank account and, therefore, didn’t need to be cancelled.  After waiting for a while, she finally saw that there was a “Fund Deposit from UK London” in the bank account.

 

We heard a bubbling sound. He said that it was a jacuzzi in the toilet. He is in Denver.

 

JW: Are you on the phone at the same time that you are in the toilet, relaxing in the jacuzzi?

 

He said that he doesn’t swim because he has a phobia. He doesn’t drink water, only beer. He has a phobia of toilets.

 

He told us to go to the nearest bank to withdraw $10,000 cash.  JW didn’t want to drive all the way to Denver or to the UK. He couldn’t explain why we only needed to withdraw $10,000 and not the $15,790 that we were sent.

 

JW realized that her savings account balance was missing the money that was actually in her checking account. He kept saying that she couldn’t see what she could very clearly see on her computer screen. She decided to call her bank to figure out what to do since he was being so unhelpful.

 

He said some weird things, then some rude things. We bailed and booped in his face.

(G)F vs Frank Short (?) / Barney & Roy Thomas (Brainless Roy / Dr. Smoothbrain) – Norton

Refund Amount: $499.00

Scam Amount: $20,000.00

Inv #GT7765

 

He connected the computers and she filled out the refund form.

 

We were transferred to the billing manager, Roy. He told us to wait. The internet connection was VERY slow (because Rinoa kept pausing it).

 

GF: I’m just saying, you smell like a coyote’s butt.

 

As soon as she started to enter her refund amount, the computer went into update mode. He told her not to shut down the computer and wouldn’t give her screen back.

 

He showed her the screen for just a moment, so she restarted her computer because the portal said $20,000. He said that shutting it down would not help. The money had already been transferred.

 

When she restarted the computer, she hoped that the mistake would have gone away. He told us to wait. We booped out of boredom.

 

He called back.

Roy: I’m not Brainless.

 

We thanked him for sending our refund. Then, he demanded the money back.

 

GF: Learn to be professional, Roy.

 

When she said she would keep the money, instead of emptying her bank account, he changed the HTML to say “BLOCK BY IRS” for some reason. 

 

He was trying to explain each and every thing when we booped in his face. Roy called us back, but we thought it was going to be the IRS.

GF: I don’t want to talk to you, Roy. Roy, you suck.

 

Roy said that he was here to guide us. She said she wanted to speak to the IRS.

GF: Your guidance is terrible.

 

We booped again. He was still on the computer, so she cut the connection. He called back and told her that she needed to give the money back. She repeated that she wanted to speak to the IRS. We booped again. We were bored with him and he was too stupid to keep talking with.
