Heh heh, that's almost exactly what I usually send as a reply to any of these scams. Funny, I tend not to hear from them after that

There is another scam making the rounds: The one where you answer the phone and someone says,"Congratulations, you have just won a trip to wherever", just dial nine to get the details. I don't know exactly what the scam is, but I've gotten the phone call three times now. I haven't dialed nine....

probably some loophole that means that when u press 9 you've consented to a charge on your bill, and it'll keep u on hold for 3 hours

Apparently this is a scam directed at business lines that use '9' to get an outside line. The scammer has access to an outside line compliments of said business. Then they can call their relatives in Kokamunga.
