Call centre / cold callers

[ravydavygravy]

Does anyone else just hang up on them?

I feel slightly bad but the twats have a different angle of attack every time you say no. Can't get the fuckers off the phone.

 

[Gonzo Mackem]

Give them the same spiel.

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for PPI I can tell you I never took out any, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my phone number go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you.!

I used to pass the phone to the bairn and tell her it was Santa Claus asking what she wanted for Christmas.

There are a few things you need to do to stop the calls.

Register your number with the TPS. (Calls from oversea are a different matter and it will not block these calls)

Just saying no to them won't work, they are sales and your answer is just a sales barrier for them to overcome. They have the argument that you might say yes the next time they call. You need to tell the caller that you want your all of your details removing from their Data Base and for the company not/never to call you back. They are legally obligated to do this.

That will sort out most of the nuisance calls.

Classic!

Have you reported it to HRM/Management/Boss?

You can still ask them to remove the companies data from their data base.

Tell them to Fuck Off.

 

[safcsafc]

I just hang up. You can usually tell by the pause at the start of the call before they come on the line

 

[Tommasi]

If I don't know the number I just don't answer. Obviously if it's a business that's not an option.

They normally ring my phone and just say 'how you doing, you ok'

 

[Arkle]

I just tell them I subscribe to the telephone preference service.

 

[Some Random Guy]

A few options:

1) Tell them I'm not interested and bid them good day.
2) Tell them to fuck off and die
3) Say "I'll just go and get him/her" and see how long they sit waiting
4) Say "I don't live here, I'm just burgling the place"

I've just unplugged my house phone and I don't see the need for it.

 

[FishburnMackem]

How else are we supposed to feed our 7 kids

 

[Musicman]

Ask them to hold on a minute put the phone down and carry on with something else for 10 mins, if they are still there do it again.

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Not really a phone person but screen all calls and only answer the very few ones that are of interest.

I had a phone call from Ron or whoever in India who said he was from the Telephone Preference Service and he wanted to check something on my 'account'. He eventually wanted to check something on my bank card - so of course I was saying 'why on earth would you need to do that?' He then got very stroppy and was shrieking at me to go and get my card. I told him to get lost and could still hear him ranting as I slammed the phone down. Ridiculous.
