EE scammers

[Mr Kobayashi]

A good excuse to avoid speaking to people you don't want to though. Had a legitimate caller from an energy company mithering about a smart reader ,who kept misreading the surname, even when offered extra chances. Told him he was a scammer and put phone down despite knowing full well he wasn't.

You got any other examples?

Just use whatever comes to mind at the time. Think I used Adolf Whitler once, Lucan Lord another time. The idea is to try and get them to lose their temper and scream obscenities back at you. Or you can just be really nice and start asking questions back to them to waste their time.

The one I've been getting recently is housing repairs. When I get bored of speaking to them or listen to them whining on I usually ask if I can ask them a question and say "Do you enjoy doing what you do??" and when they reply (as they usually do) "What do you mean?" "Scamming people for a living!" usually gets them every time.

Just had one with a 0161 number. They generally put the phone Down when I tell them to go fuck their mum in their language. Apparently I had been involved in a car crash and she went into lots of details. Strange as I don't remember it and I don't have a car .

Just tell you were too pissed at the time of said accident to remember and wait until they blink.

Had one a while ago, some Indian chap, blustered a bit, um’d and ah’d, so I told him “fuck off you scamming twat” and hung up. A couple of minutes later, he calls again - I’m a foster carer on the side and it turned out he was an autism specialist wanting to visit my new guest, a wee bit of an awkward conversation after that!

Is worth registering with telephone preference service to reduce these calls.

If the number ain’t stored in my phone, it ain’t getting answered.

They can always leave a message or send a text if it’s important.

Only this!
I’ve also not answered the house phone for 20 years.
