  3. FTFY. Strikes more terror that any other deity on the doorstep
     
  4. I have had good rsults with

    Do you tell your father (sub mother if it is a girl caller) that you call people to try and steal from them?
     
  5. The line I've used is telling them they must be world class thick skinned to be able to sleep at night.

    Or if feeling playful rather than annoyed I've also just started talking about the penguins at the zoo, or asked if they want to speak to the warden who looks after us.

  6. Thought about this a lot as we work from home and have had 6 a day.

    Must be a western normal call centre like NAT West etc and then the mafia get in there and force them to make these calls on the QT. The kit they use is expensive and mass call blocks can only be purchased in 1000's to make it worthwhile. That said Fuckers are only looking for the old and vulnerable so to hell with them
     
  7. They never have Western accents
     
  8. You could always try Calls to this number are charged at £10.00 per hour to your personal account, do you wish to proceed?
     
  9. Nice one
    There's usually a pause before they connect and speak, so you have a good idea who it's going to be, so you could say something like:
    Hello, Windows Technical Department, Noobie speaking, how may I help you?

  11. Had one of these years ago and being in IT, I strung them along playing completely dumb (like it was the first time I’d used a computer). It was painful for them. Asking me to click things and I was telling them I couldn’t see what they meant. Then they cottoned on that I was on a Mac so put me through to the Microsoft Mac department :thinkingface:

    This went on for a good 30 minutes with them trying to direct me to install TeamViewer (I told them I was so inept I’d googled teen viewer and was getting up lots of rude results :joy:).

    Got to the moment of them trying to connect and I have them a right bollocking and they then tried bollocking me for being rude and wasting their time :mad:

  12. I shall next time try:

    "This is Langley. Code in."

    "Start the trace ..."

    A bit too sophisticated, methinks...
     
  14. Bugger.
