If you get a JW at your door all you have to say is 'Please will you enter in your book not to call here again'.

As good as gold they do, and you won't be bothered again.

When I get cold calls on the phone with special offers all I say is 'That's absolutely fantastic, I hope you sell loads, thank you for calling me', then put the phone down.

Thats quality  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Another way is to answer the phone and play loud music down the phone, they soon hang up.

Did this with some guy from india trying to get me to move telephone companies, he's not rang back since.

Another good tip is to say "yes I'm very interested in your offer..... hang on a sec something is boiling over on the cooker." then just put the phone down but don't hang up, usually after 10 minutes theyve gone.  :D

Tend not too answer numbers I don't know on the mobile, problems with that is the house phone and work come up as private numbers, most times I tend not to answer the land line, let them leave message, as most folks i know have my mobile :y

A neighbour of mine got one of those calls to tell him he'd won a free holiday. So he decided to play around a bit. The conversation went like this:

A free holiday. Great!

First, I just need to check a couple of things... Are you in full time employment?

No, I'm on the dole

Are you homeowner?

No, I rent

I'm sorry, Sir, but on this occasion you don't meet our criteria.

Huh? What about my free holiday"


Line goes dead.
