Being downloaded??

I remember reading something about this on the forums but I wanted to ask how exactly do you reply to such a phone call??
They called my cell phone 3-4 times and then my work number but I can barely understand what they're saying because of a very heavy indian? accent and I cannot understand who they represent.
They say they are not a collection agency but a law firm ( they actually sound like a call center to me with lots of noise in the background).
I think the supervisor name was Jeremy Barker...
Does anybody else received phone calls like this?

The best way to respond is to say ok, hang up and laugh. There is no such thing as being downloaded

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASSSSSE...will SOMEBODY please explain what these morons mean when they say "you will be downloaded"? ROFLMAO!!!
Will we be downloaded in cyberspace ne'er to see our children again?? Will we be downloaded by one person and e-mailed to thousands...no MILLIONS of people as SPAM??? THEN WHAT??? We rot in limbo-space...until the NEXT moronic PDL collector threatens us that "we will be downloaded"...only to start the process all over again???
...too funny...

Desperately, the threat is supposed to mean that they are going to download your file to the police department and then the police will be out to arrest you.
Someone should correct the PDL's jargon and inform them that if they were indeed electronically sending the file to the police dept ... that they would in effect be "uploading" the file not "downloading" it.

when I get these thick accented calls I will tell them "I can't understand anything you are saying, if you need to speak with me have someone calls who speaks English". Of course this gets them very mad...LOL

It's funny to mess with these people when they call. Here are some ideas...
CALLER: "We will download you"
YOU: "Really? Will it be painful?"
CALLER: "We will download you"
YOU: "Oh? Ok. Well, let me put the phone down so I can plug the computer modem cable into a convenient bodily opening so you can download me. Which opening do you suggest I use?"
CALLER: "We will download you"
YOU: "Whew! For a minute there I thought you said you were going to UPload me - but as long as you're just going to DOWNload me, that's fine!"
:lol:

I think all of these outfits must work from the same script and if they are distracted from the script in any way, shape, or form, they get very, very upset and flustered. (so of course that is what I try to do...)
Thanks for the laughs, guys...and for the ideas!!! lol

Oh, they DO read from scripts - you can tell by the canned, recorded sound of their voices - mostly because English is NOT their native language, so they have to read from a script, or risk saying the wrong thing...or worse yet, lapse into their native tongue!

I just LOVE interrupting them with a question or comment; it throws them off the script and they get extremely PO'd at me! ;)
