The Day of the Fathead (£1,000 Reward!!!)

Today, Ian had the pleasure of getting a scam phone call from an adult with the mindset of a small and dangerously disturbed child (kind of like the ones you used to get in those low budget horror movies back in the eighties).  It is not the first time either.  Over the last couple of years, prank or scam calls appear to be high fashion over in Numptyville.

Fancy £1,000 reward simply for correctly identifying a nasty, spiteful and VERY dim person with an incredibly sad and empty life?  Then read on! 😀

I am really impressed with the way Ian handled this – for two reasons.  The first reason is that he recorded the call right early on during the incredibly unconvincing ‘selling’ of the scam.  I say ‘incredibly unconvincing’ because the mystery caller (I know right, PROPER mysterious and everything!) was not really convincing in any way shape or form.  He didn’t even sound like a professional, more like someone in their late teens making a quick joke call inbetween finding an adult who is willing to nip in the offy and get them another bottle of White Lightning.  Lol.

However, the highlight of the call for me was when the muppet finally accepted that Ian is not still wet behind the ears and that he was not going to get anywhere even if he spent a week trying.  During a bout of petulant frustration, he took it upon himself to call Ian a ‘white c**t’.  Keeping his cool, Ian pointed out to the sad-ling that this was a rather racist remark.  To my utter astonishment, the caller argued and was adamant that his statement had not been racist in any way….

Is it me???

Hahahhahaha.  Maybe you have a different take on it all if your IQ is akin to your shoe size and you think that ‘erudite’ is a type of glue…

Ian then went on to inform the stroppy young fella-me-lad that he would be posting his recording of the call on YouTube and would be offering a nice reward for anyone who could identify the fathead so that he could be arrested.  At this point the foul-mouthed individual hung up and went away to pull the wings off of bluebottles no doubt.

The video is below.  But be warned, it does contain strong language (you had probably worked that much out…. unless you are the person who rang and then you will require a fortnight to process the information……).

FOOTNOTE – there are also violent overtones such as where the person who must have made his parents very proud threatens to come and sort Ian out in his own home.  Scary.  As soon as the mystery caller has finished going through his puberty phase I am sure Mr Lambert will be trembling at the mere thought of a knock on his door…..
