Spammer: "Hi, is this AMp?"
Me: "Yes."
Spammer: "Has anyone talked to you recently about reducing your credit card debt and credit card interest rates?"
Me: "I have no credit card debt and my interest rate is 1%. Can you still help me?"
Spammer: "We can give you a 14% interest rate on a new _____ card combined with a free balance transfer from your old cards to consolidate your debt."

Spammer: "We can take your application right over the phone and doo everything for you at no cost to you, or we also have a website if that's more convenient for you."

Me: "I just gave you some information."
Spammer's Assistant: "I'm sorry?"
Me: "I just told you I'm gay. Isn't that relevant to the application? Can I get a lower interest rate if I'm gay?"
Spammer's Assistant: "I've.... I... I don't see how that would affect your credit application in th...."
Me: "Then I don't want it. I want special treatment on this matter, because god knows I deserve some, and if you can't do something for me, then I don't want it."
Spammer's Assistant: "YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOT SOME KIND OF JOKE! THIS IS MY JOB HERE! WHERE DO YOU GET OFF MAKING A JOK
