Scam calls have become so frequent that most people either hang up instantly or try to block the number. But recently, a video surfaced online showing a very different response. Instead of panicking, a man kept chatting with a scammer only because his Spotify subscription had ended and he wanted to “pass some time.”
The clip, shared on Instagram by Dipak Bhagwat, has already been viewed more than five lakh times and is leaving people amused at the unusual exchange.
A Police Uniform, Portraits And Flags
The scammer tried to make his act look real. On the video call, he wore a full police uniform. Behind him were flags and a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi, something usually seen in police stations. But the scammer had also put up a photo of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Normally, portraits of freedom fighters are placed in such spaces, not the Prime Minister, which made the whole setup look unusual.
‘Bas time pass kar raha tha’
At first, the caller instructed Dipak to show his identity card and follow certain steps. He listened to all of them quietly but then revealed the real reason why he was on the call.
Dipak Said, “Main Travel Kar Raha Tha, Aur Mera Jo Spotify Hai, Uska subscription bhi khatam ho gaya. Toh jane ke liye kuch time pass thahi, toh mai bas aap logo ka sath tim pass kar raha Tha… toh jane do, koi dusra bakra dhundo aap (I was traveling and my spotify subscription had ended. i had no wait to pass time, so I was just chatting with you people… Now Let it be, go Finder Fool). “
Hearing this, the scammer couldn’t help but smile. He replied, “Ab esse jyada main kya bol sakta hu (What more can I even say now).”
A Strange Friendly Chat
The conversation continued in a friendly manner. When Dipak reminded him that it was not his first scam call, the scammer admitted, “Hume bhi toh karna hai na (We also have to do it, right).” To this Dipak responded, “Haan karna hai, majboori hai aapki (Yes, you have to, it is your compulsion).”
At one point, the scammer even summed up the moment by saying, “Maine aapke maze le liye, aapne mere maze le liye. Accha ho gaya (I’ve had my fun, you’ve had your fun. That’s good).”
Dipak further asked the scammer where he was speaking from. While the man first claimed he was in Mumbai, he later said that he could not disclose his exact location.
‘Accha Business Mile’
The unusual exchange did not end there. Dipak also told the caller that he earns his money fairly and wished the same for him.
“Mauka Milega, Main Prabhu Se Prathana Karunga Ki Aapko Accha Business Mile aur Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Tab Acche Acche Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bakre Bhai Mile (You will get your Chance, I will get your Chance, I Will Pray to God Till then, may you continue to find good fools), “He said with a laugh as both ended the call.
The overlay text on the video reads: “Spotify khatam hone par scammer ke sath time pass kaise kare (How to pass time with a scammer when your Spotify ends).”

Reactions Are As Entertaining As The Call
People in the comments section could not stop laughing at the exchange and shared their varied reactions.
One user commented, “Bhai ka convincing power. Brother). “
“Pakistani Tone Hai Eska,” a comment read.
Another playfully remarked, “I think till now this is the best ad for Spotify. They should consider this as an official Spotify ad.”
Someone defined the situation with, “When hacker meets developer,” while a person noted, “Bro stopping scammer, nope, he is appreciating them.”
“Scammers ke saath scam hogaya (The scammers got scammed),” a viewer jokingly wrote.
More playful comments surfaced, such as “Better luck next time,” “Scammers samaj me khushi ki lehar (A wave of happiness in the scammer community)” and “Bhaichara on top (Brotherhood on top).”
While, like Dipak, some dodge such calls, that was not the case for a Gujarat couple who became victims of a shocking cyber fraud that cost them over Rs 88 lakh.
