That's the 4th F*K*ING call this afternoon..

Any advice on dealing with cold/selling callers?

I did tell someone to F*$k off last week but it turned out to be a legitimate call.

There are websites you can join that say they can stop cold calls, but they want all your details like email and mob number, and im not sure if it's some sort of scam.

I used to enjoy winding them up, but now it's just annoying me to the point that everyone who calls the house gets greated with "WHAT?"

Anyway, better go.....The phone's ringing!

Contact BT they can arrange filtering.

Tell them your having a hand shandy and ask what they are wearing or if they have kids and what they look like in a swim suit

Ask them to hold on 2 seconds then fcuk off tot he pub or something.

Hi ferme_ta_gueule_toi,

Register with this website and all (or most) of the calls will stop....

http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/

Also, if you are fed up with direct mail companies sending you crap, you can register at the same site...

Hope this helps!

Wind them up, waste their time. This afternoon I had some Indian talking about a "free" kitchen quote. After 5 mintes of winding him up it came to my address....which I said was a caravan.....line went dead.

Thanks all...I reckon I'll register with the site britegirlie suggested in the morn...that way tonight I can have some payback...The site also asks for emails, postcode, names and all that, but looks reputable enough. If registering triples the amout of calls I'll know where to come britegirlie!!

I'm not kidding but I'v had another while writing this...except it wasn't even a person...just some robot thing going "please do not hang up, this is not a sales call"

thanks for those links britegirlie, just what i needed too.

A retired Argyll I know uses this patter for cold calls:

"Does this involve me spending money?... Well fcuk off."

Seem to work for him.
