A lady came and asked if there was a graduation tassel on hold for her and it was supposed to be at customer service for her. I said I didn’t have anything like that for her (asking her name and what kind it was supposed to be). She said that she talked to the manager directly about it and she had gotten a call from “some girl with a fancy name” last week and told them to hold it, even though she had gotten it months before. So I spent about 5 to 10 minutes trying to track down the manager (he wasn’t there), then asked if any of the gear representatives knew about any tassel on hold for this lady by the manager. No one knew.
I eventually asked the gear department supervisor if she knew where the manager would put something like that and she said she didn’t know, so she called him, left him a message, and we waited for him to call. In the mean time I went back and told the lady we don’t know anything about this item and I resumed to ask the lady for her number so we can call her back when we found out more info about it.
The manager calls during this time and says he didn’t know anything about it, so we ask the lady again who called her and asked her how she paid for it. She eventually says she did a phone order, which would still imply that a gear department rep would have helped her. The supervisor asked me if Web would have it, but I told her they would only have it if THEY did the web order, not if the lady had talked to the gear manager about it since they are COMPLETELY different departments with different procedures and managers. So the lady looked through her call log to see who called her, and it was the web department.
Once we found that out, I said I would call them, and then the lady accused me all of a sudden — “SEE YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED THEM, SHE WAS TELLING YOU THAT WEB HAD DONE IT OVER AND OVER BUT YOU SAID NO NO NO NO”
All I could say was “Ummm…” I eventually called Web and they brought down her stupid tassel and she left.
LIKE ITS MY FUCKING FAULT SHE DIDN’T FUCKING KNOW WHO SHE TALKED TO AND SHE SAID THAT PETER KNEW ALL ABOUT IT BUT HE DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING.
FUCK THAT LADY FUCK HER

Local Exchange: An Eruption of Stupidity
Based off the following post:
https://squackle.com/22567/screwed-up-chronicles/daves-kingdom/scam-call-from-local-exchange/
–
Harry Brown and Mildred Jacklesmith once had a great idea.
“Why don’t we scam people?” Harry Brown said.
Mildred, obviously in agreement, shouted at the top of her lungs. “YESSSS!!!!!”
And so a company was born. It was named Local Exchange and it was in San Dimas, California. Or maybe it was in Villaverde. Is that even a city? To tell you the truth no one really knows what city it actually is in. Not that it matters because absolutely all of their business would be conducted over the phone.
Local Exchange invested in a phone number that provided unlimited calling and texting. Obviously, to scam people you need to call them unlimitedly and text them non-stop. Otherwise, the whole scam thing doesn’t really seem very scammish!
The first order of business was to create the scam. The scam of all scams. A scam that everyone would believe but only the smart people would question and only the smart people would see it was a scam. People who were smarter than them, even. But that’s not the target market, now, is it?
The scam had been planned out in a matter of days. First, they would call a random number and ask to speak to the “owner of the phone” to make it sound official. Once they had the owner of the phone, they would tell them about the grand prize they had won and how everyone knows them locally but to get notoriety in different parts of the country, they were expanding their random 6-day cruise prize to different areas of California.
Once the person had given them their credit card information and social security number, they would hang up and begin to apply for credit cards and home loans with their information and take out cash advances. And then they would invest that money into online payment systems.
Yes, life was grand in the most successful scamming company of all time. Local Exchange posted huge profits and Harry and Mildred bought huge mansions once owned by drug dealers who fell victim to the scams. Poor drug dealers lost their drug dens, but they weren’t the only victims to the grandest scam of all time.
I will now tell you about a lady who was down on her luck. She thought she was the luckiest person in the world and won a free 6-day cruise to New York from California. Oh, what a joyous occasion it was. And all she had to give them was her name, address, social security number, and driver’s license number. Overnight, this wonderful, nice lady had transformed into a blathering hobo asking for change at bus stop benches. The day before she had been a worker at McDonald’s but when it came about that another Emelia Prancasa applied for a job at Burger King across the street with the same information as “Our” Emelia, that’s when McDonald’s fired her. They couldn’t have a worker working at two fast food restaurants at the same time. That would be espionage in the making!
Poor Emelia. She can no longer work at any fast food restaurant because she became the most notorious fast food restaurant quadruple agent ever to be known. Too bad she wasn’t hot cause she was quite ugly and not very attractive to boot. Sometimes ugly people can be attractive, but sometimes they are just stupid. Like Emelia. Because she thought she won a 6-day cruise when in fact she won nothing and lost it all.
The end.
Moral: Don’t give away your private information to random people who call you on the phone telling you you won a 6-day cruise.
Scam Call From Local Exchange
I had some scammer call a number at work during the beginning of May saying how I had won some cruise or whatever and they want to give me tickets to fly anywhere in the US.
I kept asking “What?” and “Who is this?” and they kept repeating. The lady had a terribly Mexican accent, so it was half-truth that I could barely understand her over the speakerphone.
All together, I made her wait around on the phone for like 10 mintues before I put her on mute and came back, pretending to be the “owner” of the phone.
As soon as I turned the phone off mute, I asked for their Full Company name, full name of the person calling, the city they are from, their web site, etc without giving any information at all on my end.
What I gathered, they are named:
“Local Exchange” (pretty generic name, don’t you say?) and they are from San Dimas or Villaverde and “of course” they are from California.
I asked for their web site and she was very hesitant to give me anything and when I asked her again like 3 times, she said, “Of course we have a web site” and then hung up on me.
So, if you get a call from 909-575-1068, then you will know that it is a scam. They have yet to call the number back, from what I know. So that’s that.

As a result of this call, I wrote the following story for your enjoyment:
