I love it when as the person on the other end gets more and more exasperated with his inability to just spell out the acronym, his pronunciation of it gets more and more ludicrous
George Agdgdgwngo (pronounced Agga-do/g'da-gwengo) is an African scammer from the Republic of Agdgdgwngo. He tries to obtain people's bank account details in a variety of ways, such as needing the details to obtain access to a bank vault due to it being steam cleaned or decorated for Christmas or to remove a ugandan pigeon. He claims to be a representative of several companies including Money Removal Plc, Bank Festive Redistribution Pl., and the Eastern Union (a word play on Western Union, often used by scammers) Money Transfer and is usually unsuccessful in obtaining peoples details, believing one man's sort code was "**** off", although another man did give his account number and security question, although as the answer to his security question was "Jimmy Saville" it's easy to assume the "victim" was playing along with George as a wind-up. Another method George uses is to tell people they have won a cash prize or CPM aka "Cash Prize Monies!" that needs to be transfered to their bank account, but it is always a very small sum of money. George will usually give the amount in Ugandan Dollars before usually converting to sterling using his 70's computer next to his photo of Chris Eubank. Interestingly, the Ugandan Dollar does infact not exist, yet there is a Ugandan Shilling which equates to approx 3400 per british pound. He works for Terry Tibbs Motor Group as a security guard, and also works for British Gas along with his cousin, Benson. He often opens with the line "Good morning/afternoon/evening madam!" regardless of who answers the phone or time of day.
Mr. Doovdé is a camel riding aficionado of electrical goods. He does not believe in acronyms, often mistaking them for complete words like 'Hoomv' (HMV), 'Doovd/Doovdé' (DVD), 'Pisp/Poospé' (PSP), 'LucDe Terv' (LCD TV), Puss 3 (PS3) & Dhurs (DS). At the beginning of most episodes, he phones Directory Enquiries and asks for places in the same way as he does for the electrical goods. Examples that have been shown so far are, 'Dufhs' (DFS), 'Puk World' (PC World), 'Doovlah' (DVLA) and 'Duuhl' (DHL).
Terry Tibbs is a car salesman who calls various sellers about items on offer, and drives a hard bargain. He begins his phone calls with the item on offer then says "talk to me." He never actually makes a deal, as he often ends his phone calls with a low offer and "Thank you and goodnight - much love", although sometimes he makes an extremely high offer, confusing the person he is talking to. He can often be heard saying catchphrases such as: "She's a feisty one isn't she", "Talk to me", "That's why they call me Terry Tibbs" and "Hang about love". He enjoys buying wooden ladders for Russian gentlemen and Maserati 3200s.
The Mouse is a smart rodent who requires the regular help from local services, such as a vet because he's been poisoned after eating some cheese with green powder on it, or an exterminator to take care of a cat that ate his mother, father, brother and his cousin from the country. He is also an Oasis tribute artist playing on northbound platform 3 of Oxford Circus tube station. At the end of every one of his sketches, he dies or it is implied that he will die.
Brian Bedonde is a man who has a speech impediment where everything he says ends up starting with the letter B. The impediment is prevented if Brian takes medication. Brian has made a call before without his speech affecting the call, when he rang a resturant to ask about his blind date. It was also revealed that Brian is infact homosexual.
Mr. Miggins is a confused OAP who made his debut asking about a Genie who popped out of a brass lamp, whose appearance has now changed, and is now as confused as the person on the other end of the phone line. In episode 6, it is revealed Mr. Miggins' first name is Michael.
Detective Horace Von Khute is a telephone fraud prevention officer from Zimbabwe, and asks if the last call the victim received was from the fraudster pretending to be him.
Mike is a tele-salesman who calls on the behalf of dodgy companies trying to gain information from the victim.
The Chinese DVD Gang is a group of illegal, obese Chinese students who obviously attempt to illegally film movies in cinemas. One member also claims to be a Chinese Samuel L. Jackson lookalike.
The Flat Line is an "automated" service for people wanting to buy or rent properties around the country. Callers are usually unsuccessful in their efforts as the service selects the incorrect properties. One person did manage to select the correct property, only to have the service malfunction totally. This is the only time people have phoned the Fonejacker, rather than the other way around, aside from Episode Six of Series 1 where Terry Tibbs was seen to receive a phone call.
Criminal Dave is a bank robber who usually has quite large serious flaws in his plans. For example he attempts to schedule a get-away in a minicab and to arrange for a locksmith to open the bank's safe.
The Beatboxer is a man who phones a company or shop and beatboxes to give details confusing the 'victim' . These pranks are done using a hidden camera instead of animation.
Mr. Broadbandings is an Indian man who works in a call centre in India for Internet Service Providings, a highly-priced ISP that promises "42 megabytings" data speed and "a better providings than your current providings". He also works for Mobile Network Providings.
Donald Donaldson is a posh sounding gentleman who phones hotel receptions and security guards asking for sexual favours from males. He does have a wife and belives she is cheating on him. He is believed to enjoy champagne, nibbles, and '****ing like rabbits'.

Is it all the same undercover stuff with the public? Doing it in person rather than on the phone?
Well, it's a bit of a mix really. Some stuff like Tibbs and Bryan are sketches but the drive through chap is talking to real people through the ordering speaker thing. Can't figure out if Doovde man is in a sketch or talking to real members of the public.
I've only laughed at the Indian chap so far.
It's pretty **** to be honest. Not really watching it
