unwanted telephone calls

I get very few cold calls. The best one is for energy. When I tell them I am off grid they can't hang up quick enough.

Used to enjoy playing up the scumbags, pretending to be deaf and mishearing or giving stupid answers especially the Indian centres as they'd try to persist. Best was saying 'thought you were the undertakers as the wifes just died', had one girl in tears apologising.

All okay until I had a bump on my Harley, no damage to mine but the arse who I hit didn't want to exchange details as I don't think daddy knew he'd borrowed the car. Anyway to cover my ass, reported it to plod and to my insurance (Swinton). As said, no damage or injury to me or bike yet a week later started getting ambo chasers calling me, dozens and dozens including indians call centres. They did not understand the words of sex and travel.

Got onto BT as the TPS couldn't do ought and they sold me a call blocker phone, magic kit. They don't get through unless they speak and press a button so that's the computer ringers stuffed for starters, a lot don't bother and any twat who does can be barred by me from ever calling and getting through. Up to 2000 wankers can be blocked. Still mioss taking the piss out of the indian call centres tho.

Just to add if you are applying online for anything, have a pay as you go phone specifically for giving out to random places online.

Another option is to say they are in prison

Like vultures hovering arnt they.Id be inclined to ask the hospital admin how they store your data and why they would divulge it.

My mother (85) used to get calls, when she answered them they would ring off as if she had just missed the call. So she would ring them back and say "did you just call me?"
They were absolutely charming, and sooooo helpful,  kept her talking, asking her questions, she was loving the attention probably. Anyway they finished up saying they thought it was probably Sarah who phoned her but she will phone back no doubt. Goodbye, really nice talking to you.

Then the phone bill comes and she was charged £16 for that call. And there were several more on that same bill. So a strict telling off not to ever phone back.

But how many other old ladies don't have a bossy git of a son like me telling them off? 

There is a different scam I would like to tell you about. My son, 22, lives in a cashless society like all the young kids these days. They tap for drinks, a costa, lunch, bus fare, etc. Their bank statements are about four pages long, not that they ever download them or print them off to check them.

So here is the scam, you introduce a bogus charge for a small amount, say £4.99, in the middle of every month and it just gets lost among all the other charges and they don't notice it among all the others. And then you do it for thousands of people. Beats working for a living doesn't it?

Even better if your address is a caravan in a layby on the A303 near Salisbury.
