Bloody Cold Callers
« on: 11 April 2009, 16:55:51 »
My BT line has Annonymus call rejection and caller disply etc.  Just had an international call so thought it might have been a mate from Manchester.

Anyway, the guy (indian call centre I reckon) says he is phoneing regardsregards a mobile promotion, and then asks if I am contract or PAYG.  To which I reply "No Comment" as you never know where it might lead.

Next thing I get is , Why you waste my rather time you big piece of Sh++e,  . . . . . . .the sod managed to get a mouthfull in before I said annother word, I thought it was supposed to work the other way round.

That's why as soon as those calls start to explain themselves, I just say "no thanks, not interested" and put the phone down. ;)

What you had Skruntie  was bloody disgusting, but of course as an international unsolicited call you cannot do much about it after the event. :(

I too have anonymous call reject and caller display. I got a call from kwik fit insurance at 9 o'clock this morning. I'd just got up so he soon got the message. Came up as an 0800 number.

Next time I go to kwik fit and they ask for my phone number, I'll give them my mates who I dont like.

I give them the CID number or the local pizza number normally.

I have experienced allsorts of abuse from foreign call centres... Had one guy  threatening to steal my identity (when I was up to my eyeballs in debt!) so I told him to go ahead!

Another threatened my family... That was when I lost my rag! >:( >:( >:(

Generally don't get a lot of hassle now but have had to be very abusive to one company to get them to remove me from database.

My favourite is to tell them you'll just look for whoever they've called and leave the phone there! I managed to get one place to hold for 10 minutes once :o :o ;D ;D :y :y

I have had a few that have rung, and because I was bored I have gone along with it all.

Then when they ask for address details I tell them to just use the address they got from the book. ::) ::)

We have been getting a lot lately..They are usually from an Asian sounding guy called "Dave" or "Mark" and he is not selling anything he just wants us to answer questions and it wont take long...
I usually say "ok then" let him get his first question asked and then put the phone down ;D
