Bloody telesales
« on: 27 October 2010, 14:32:49 »
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????  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

Yes this is a group in India that is calling people to say there computer has a virus and that they have been told by your internet security provider to get rid of it by you letting them take over your computer for 5 mins while they fix it, and they fix it by taking all your details bank passwords etc.... they tried it on with my mum she passed the phone to me and im sure after phoning england they wasn't expecting the french i used to tell them to go forth and multiply....

Washing a car, is like making love to a beautiful woman.  caress the bodywork. Breathe softly and gently. And give every inch of it your loving attention. And make sure you've got a nice wet sponge.

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!" :)

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!
