i always respond to telesales now with the "can i have your details please, you've called the scene of a serious crime and we're interested to know how you know the residents at this address you've called!"

 

[The Red Baron]

thats a good one, must remember it.  

[Danny]

it never fails to either end a phone call or have the caller shakin like a shittin dog on the other end of the phone

Caller ID is the answer........if my phone rings and a number comes up i dont recognise or is withheld........simple i dont answer it and it goes to answer phone.....no message left it wasnt important

Have to try that!

Reminded me of when a phone network called me a few months back Was something like...

him 'Hello im XYZ from blah blah ... Are you on contract or PAYG'
me 'PAYG'.
him 'How much do you spend per month on calls'
me 'Between £8000-9000'
him 'How much do you spend on txt'
me 'I dont'
him 'Really?'
me 'Yes, I use pigeon Mail!!!'
him 'Well sir what were offering is...'
me 'sorry, but I really arnt intrested, bye!'

Stupid idiots!

Funnily enough i had a phone call from Capital one (my credit card company today)...Having a lovely sleep after working 15 hours and phone goes and i swear too god the guy sounds just like the black dude off phone jacker.

Starts the we need too ask you security questions...whats your date of birth blah blah....tired and very annoyed i said let me guess ive won one million and ninety two ugandan dollars and you need my bank details too claim my cash money prize.

Phones silent for a few seconds and this guy starts again can you confirm your security details....its at this point i hold the phone up too the smoke alarm pressed the test button....

Needless too say they didn't call back....... 8-)

Now thats a smashing idea!

Makes me laugh the way im saying this... but i did work in a call centre for a year or so, and loud screams / high pitched noises are actually quiet painfull down your ear!

Keep up the good work!

This may sound incredibly unkind but i really dont think too many people if there honest would be happy giving out personal deatils too someone with such a thick heavy African accent (he really sounded like the phone jacker guy).....after all the scams and identify theft happening at the moment.

That coupled with the fact his english was incredibly poor...too the point he was obviously struggling too read the script there given.

Ive done worse than the smoke alarm test....should"nt really say this but when Barclays were harassing me over a debt i didnt owe one time an incredibly rude woman started making threats about court and how my credcit file would be effected,so i started grunting....then made a squeezing sound followed by a cor that was a hard one....when she said she would phone back at a more approiate time i said ""Its fine dont need both hands too wipe....."" followed by toilet being flushed....Oddly enough she hung up.

lol, I'm sad but listened to a few of those utube vids lol.  One of them reminded me of a couple of phone calls from 02 asking why we have stopped paying them (cause they couldn't be bothered to send us a replacement phone after we'd paid insurance for endless months - they haven't yet explained how we could possibly still have a contract when we don't have a phone to have a contract on due to their incompetence. Their letters warning us they were gonna cut services to a phone we haven't got made us have hysterics.., the threat kindof loses its hold on you lol).  Phoned ME and said they needed to ask me some security questions.., my response was WHY?  You know who I am cause u phoned me.  

It always turns into a circular arguement, they tried it twice.., not heard any more since lol.

But I particularly like the utube vid from the guy phoning a locksmith asking for a safe combination.., turns out he's a bank robber in a bank lol.

The phone jacker video"s are superb.....Terry tibs is a legend.
