I've just answered the phone and the conversation went ......
me - hello
her - silence ...... call centre noise in the background
me - hello
her - is that Mr Andy B (heavy Indian accent)
me - speaking
her - can I speak to Mr Andy B
me - this is Mr Andy B
her - hello, my name is Christine
me - I don't believe that your name is Christine
her - I'm phoning about your computer
me - No, I think that you're misleading me by calling yourself Christine when it's quite obvious that you're not called Christine
her - thank you bye!
Was it something I said???? ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Maybe she meant Christine as in the car? (you know - liability, pain in the @rse).

Yep, they tried it on here a couple of days ago..... >:( >:( >:( Sounded plausible, but I simply informed them that they must be stupid If I was going to give any information to them under any circumstances....or words to that effect..... :D :D

There is no reason for anyone to ring me outside of my friends/relatives. I do everything online and I have anonymous call reject.
Anyone that rings and asks "Can I speak to.........", I just say "NO!" :)

....."Can I speak to.........", ....

It's a script you can use to baffle their script. ;D

not hanging up is a good one, as they often cannot cancel calls themselves. One good one at Uni, as it was long time Uni house got loads of random calls. We got the Arnold Schwarzenegger board, basically a huge collection of sounds from his films, him saying, yes, no, what? - All those kind of things controlled from an application.
Answer phone on loud speaker, place next to PC speaker! Hardest part is masking your laugher!
