Scam Call From SSA Officer Jeff Cooper

A long time ago I recorded this call which is my second favorite recorded scam call ever!  I've been wanting to make them into animation somehow.  Maybe with this new "AI" (which, is in no way intelligent) it could whack something together for me.  Until then, I'm going to have to post the mp3 file.

I found out at work today that slack will transcribe it which saves me some time.  Take that, robots.

0:00

All right, just give me a moment.

0:02

Let me just step.

0:02

Ok.

0:03

Ok, Jeff Cooper, are you still there?

0:13

Yeah, let me pull up a file with me.

0:17

Ok.

0:17

Can you, can you tell me again?

0:19

Like why, why are you calling?

0:21

What am I getting arrested for?

0:28

Let me pull up your file then I'll tell you.

0:30

Ok, pull up my file.

0:33

Yeah, he said that I'm getting arrested.
