I just had a phone call from a very foreign sounding gentleman claiming to be speaking to me on behalf of Visa and Mastercard. He said his name
is.....

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Working from home I get all of them on the phone, utility bills, Weatherseal, boiler room scams etc. But the one I like most is the debt reducers.
They call up asking (in broken English) if you have debts of more than £15,000 because they run a scheme approved by the government to reduce my
debt.
Told them to F*****F the first few times, now if I have the time I play along, let them give me the speell, then when they get to the end and start
asking for money to set up a Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) I tell them it's not legal in Scotland and what a shame. Amazing how many
hang up on me.
We had our windows put in by Weatherseal about a year ago, now I reagulary get 8 - 10 calls per week from them trying to sell me windows. Again told
them to sod off initially, now I make appointments with their reps and when they come out the house I point to the windows and tell them there must be
some mistake, really hacks them off
My wife is very understanding, she understands that if I am in the garage I am not in the house annoying her.

What you do is ask who they are and what company they're calling from etc, then say "Hold on a second I'll just go and get
him"
put the phone on the table and go make a cuppa or something. Check that they've hung up after 5 mins.
Had one bloke called "Elizabeth" too, eventually admitted it was his name he picked it off a list!
But the best one of all was when I was on holiday, let them go through it all while I'm lying in the sun and then hit them with it:
"Oh by the way do you know where you're calling?"
"I have here you're in Warrington"
"True but I'm in Tenerife right now, do you know how much it is to call a mobile in north africa?"
"No"
"It's £2.40 a minute"
