Anyone else getting loads of cold calling phone calls?

  1. The way to stop these is as follows:

    When they ring and ask to speak to MR XXX - say 'hold on, i will just go get them' - then put the phone on mute and leave it until they ring off...after a while they remove your number from the list.
     
  2. I normally answer the land line with a 'bonjour' or a 'guten morgan' or a buenas dias' that usually starts them off on the back foot!!!

  4. i keep getting calls on my mobile about my enquiry online earlier this year about claiming back PPI on a loan i took out. i tell them i dont take out PPI, they say that it gets put on without my knowledge. when i tell them i have never had a loan they start squirming a bit and try telling me my computer must have been hacked. yeah right, by someone that has my mobile number?? when i ask if they just bought my number on a data base they suddeny hang up. how odd!

  8. My mate had one the other day. He started talking to them then said "hang on a mo" and left the phone on his desk for 15 mins. He went back to it and they were still on there!
