From scamradar.com, here's how someone pranked a fake FBI agent:

I’ve been playing with a couple of fine upstanding gentlemen from Nigeria claiming to be Robert Mueller. I informed them that before I send the first $$$ I must speak with FBI Chairman J. Edgar Hoover. These idiots send me a spoofed number with a 718 exchange. Obviously, these Nigerian morons bought a Magic Jack and configured the inbound number to a Brooklyn/Bronx exchange.
The Nigerian answers the phone. I asked him if he was Mr. Hoover. After a long pause I asked him if he is the real J. Edgar Hoover. He quickly assured me he is FBI Chairman J. Edgar Hoover. I asked him why does a white guy from Washington D.C. sound like a black african? Once again I asked him, “are you sure you are Mr. Hoover”? Again he assured me that he is the genuine J. Edgar Hoover and added that he had a cold, and that might explain why his voice sounded so funny. I came back with this……. I said because of all of the internet scams you can never be too cautious therefore I am going to ask you a question ONLY the REAL J. Edgar Hoover can answer correctly”. The Nigerian took the bait by proclaiming he could answer the question. I asked him, “What happened on May 2nd, 1972″? Dead silence on the other end for at least 45 seconds. The Nigerian comes back stammering and stuttering trying to find an answer. I can hear a muffled “huddle” in the background as the three stooges try to find an answer. Finally, the Nigerian comes back and tells me he is too busy to stay on the phone and I should email him my question. He then hangs up.
I burned up about 12 minutes of his phone time and make no mistake…the owners of the cyber cafes in Lagos rape these guys for the use of cellphone and computer time. These guys pay through the nose for a minute of phone time. It’s not cheap. Their payday comes when some brain dead American or european falls for their con and sends them several thousand dollars.
Immediately following my conversation I forward a copy of their email to abuse@live.com, or to Yahoo and they kill the perp’s email account within 24 hours.

Of course, that date is when Hoover died....

I have been dealing with low-life bill collectors for over a year now thanks to the idiocy of an ex-girlfriend. At first it was very irritating. Now it has become quite amusing and, in a couple of cases, fulfilling as well as profitable. I will explain.
My last call came in recently from a woman spouting the same old B.S. story of Warrants, Arrests, Docket numbers..blah, blah, blah. When it finally occured to this genius that I wasn't being intimidated she tried using the old "The Officers will be at your door in two hours.." routine. I said "I really hope they will be, I need a new boat." Not knowing how to reply to this she merely said "Huh?". I then had to explain that she couldn't have anybody arrested. That people like her are terrified of law enforcement and that even if she was legit the most that could happen would be a summons. That I would dearly love that because then I would know who to lodge the complaints, charges and lawsuit against. That my Attys. (two of the meanest lesbians you'll ever wish you hadn't met) and I had already shut down a firm in AZ and had settled with an outfit in MN. That's how I'd paid for my current boat but it's a Cobia and I really want a Sundancer. I then played back a couple of seconds of our conversation to her from my cheap micro-cassette recorder and explained the "One-party" laws concerning the recording of phone calls. This resulted in several seconds of stunned silence followed by an apology and and an explanation of her just trying to do her job. I told her to clean up her act and get off the drugs. Maybe then she'd be able to pass the drug screen and background check and be able to get a real job..like maybe at Burger King or the 7-11. For some reason she hung-up on me!
Of course I still have to deal with the "Cubicle Clowns" in India. My last one of those was funny as hell too. "Mike Larson" calls with the usual spiel, but I cut him off and ask him if he realizes that he has just called one of the most powerful Shamans on the planet? He has to ask me about that so I explain to him that I'm kind of like a Rishi and that in a moment his lights will flicker and that will be to notify him that he's now been cursed and that his next existence will be spent as a "Dung Bat". This revelation quite unnerved him and evidently his lights flickered (duh, you live in India), the results being that he's called back twice and left VMs begging me to lift the curse. I actually feel a little sorry for the guy. Indians of all persuasions are very superstitious but I think I'm gonna let him stew for a bit longer. Can't you just picture this guy trying to google "Dung-Bat" ???
People, the bottom line is this. There are some legitimate collection firms out there doing a sadly necessary job. But the regrettable fact is that the vast majority of the people contacting you are immoral scum-bags who are un-willing or un-able to find honorable work and have lowered themselves to doing and saying anything for a buck. They deserve nothing but contempt. Pity them, for they are the true dregs of society. To all of them I say, "Good luck to you in your coming situation."
