Convicts are being paid for ‘cold-calling’ householders from jail.

The inmates of some of the country’s toughest prisons are being trusted to harvest sensitive information – sometimes involving financial affairs.

They are picking up £3.40 a day to call potential customers for insurance policies. They also carry out marketing surveys.

One of the cold-callers was a conman who ran a £5.7million telemarketing scam with thousands of victims.

Antoni Muldoon, 71, who was jailed for seven years for fraud, said: ‘You try to find out as much information as you can.’

The personal details include names, ages, marital status and number of children. Householders can be asked whether they own or rent their home and whether they have life insurance.
 


I always have a bit fun if the caller of a scam call is female.
When they start asking questions I say could I stop you right there, i will answer your questions if you will answer one of mine, they usually say ok.
I then say could you describe what panties you're wearing
Usually the line either goes dead or they ask me to repeat the question because they dont understand but i've actually had two describe them one said they had teddy bears on them.
Then i hang up.
 
The usual scam calls some of my clients fall for then ring me up in a panic. They learn their lesson.

Mind you all BT routers with only the latest tall 6 model excepted only partially are utter sh*te and especially woefully inadequate for small business running servers or Dropbox on their network. torrents too for home users they simply can't cope.
 
I usually get the "you've been in an accident" calls. I try stringing them along for a bit, getting myself confused about the two recent accidents I've had, then when I "remember" the date (which of course they confirm that's the one they're calling about) I them that this one was definitely my fault and I'm just out of jail for the car crash.

Changed tactics for the last few. I answer the phone using a Quasimodo type accent. They hang up pretty quick.

Actually had one a couple of hours ago, but didn't answer as I didn't want to be walking round Morrisons sounding like Quasimodo! :lol:
 
When I've got the time (say in work and I'm killing time) I try and keep them on as long as possible so they aren't bothering someone else.
 
I tend to just say 'No, but thanks anyway' and hang up - I used to take the piss out of them all until my daughter pointed out that some of the people calling were just trying to make a living and when you string them along they get their hopes up you might actually buy double glazing or whatever - she's worked in such a place and seen people in tears, so I tend to be a bit more civil these days - we've all got to make a few quid, just be thankful you're not one of these poor sods
 
A lass from work once got cold called from a double glazing company, they were asking her questions and asked where she was from, Spennymoor was her reply. They asked her some more and then they came up with a classic, "Is interbreeding still rife in Spennymoor?" :):):)
 
Whenever anyone phones I just play them gay porn audio until they hang up- seems to work, haven't heard from salesmen scammers for months.... Or my parents for that matter.....
 
Had one before a number of years back adamant I'd been in a crash a few months prior and had claimed less than I was due. Kept asking them are they sure. Adamant it was me on the system. Hung up once I told them I was 15 and didn't own any form of vehicle.
 
I f***ing love these calls.

Last one went something like this


Scamming Twat -Sir I'm phoning about the virus we detected on your windows pc

Me (in my campest voice) - ooh I'll give you a virus you filthy boy.

Scamming twat hangs up...

Another time I said had on 2 seconds and farted down the phone (I'm vile like)

Needless to say he hung up..

I haven't had a landline for months as the only calls we were getting were from twats trying to sell us shit. I do miss taking the piss out of scammers though. Actually our lass keeps getting a London number trying to say she's been in an accident or some shit. I'm going to keep a can of pop handy so I can belch fuck off git loud next time the twats phone up....
 
I got a life insurance call. He was very upbeat and said he was guaranteed to beat my current life insurance and he'd put money on it that he'd get me a better deal. I asked if he was sure about that and he said yes. I then told him I took my policy out when I was fit and healthy and I've since been diagnosed with an incurable critical illness. He then decided he wasn't so sure after all :lol:

There's a difference between scammers and nuisance callers.
