Man Gets Revenge On Telemarketers By Hiring Actor To Pretend To Be His Wife's Boyfriend

Ex-telemarketing victim Mike Revengerson has developed the ultimate system to rid himself of unwanted sales calls: hiring a professional actor named Dave to answer his phone and pretend to be his wife's secret boyfriend. When telemarketers call, Dave answers with a deep, serious voice and says, 'Hello? Oh, you're calling for Mike? Tell him I'm coming over for dinner at 7, and his wife has been avoiding my calls. We need to discuss this situation.' Dave then continues the conversation by asking invasive questions about the telemarketer's personal life and whether they've 'ever been in a complicated situation.' Telemarketers hang up in confusion and have reportedly stopped calling Mike's number entirely, with one saying, 'That guy is unhinged, I'm not getting involved in whatever drama that is.' Mike says his phone has been spam-free for 2 years.
