Nuisance Phone Calls
21 Answers
I have had six of these today on my landline and one on my mobile, despite being registered with the telephone preference thing. I find it very difficult to believe that anyone bothers to listen to these people, especially when it is a recorded spiel or someone with an almost impenetrable foreign accent claiming to be called "Matthew" or "Belinda" or some such. How can such calls possibly be cost effective to the companies paying for them?

I love winding them up. I took a call one afternoon at work. It was a hissy, crackly line and through the interference I could make out an Indian gentleman saying he was calling from British Gas and wanting to know where I got my electricity from. So I told him I got it from the plug. When pressed further for details of my current supplier I told him my place was wired to the lamp post and it was fantastic value as it didn't cost me a penny. He hung up. You know you've won when these muppets hang up on you!
