MoChara 1,632 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I'm sick to death of silly pre recorded calls ringing me. Phone just rang said from Antonio Texas thought who the hell would be ringing me from Texas. Answered it and no noise no talking nothing. Everyday I usually get a woman talking crap about ppi off an unknown/withheld number but never one from bloody Texas. Getting worse, anyone know how to stop it? I can't block unknown numbers as the agriculture dept, doctors, dentist and vet usually ring off unknown. Doing my loaf in now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Answer it and talk to them for as long as possible...in the end they will pass you onto their supervisor...so waste an hour of their time too.......It used to be my favourite hobby. I do not get any such calls anymore. Miss them in a way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 If its a real person speaking, I ask them to hang on for a second as I've got something on the stove,or there's someone at the door etc. Then I take the phone handset into the bedroom and put it in the wardrobe ! I've often wondered how long they actually hang on for !! I do enjoy my petty torments........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desertbred 5,490 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I usually ask them what they are wearing, not the recordings that would be plain daft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 TPS can't stop international calls or withheld number ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MoChara 1,632 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) That's wild like. Your mobile numbers supposed to be private and this happens. I see red every time I answer them, I remember few months back I'd had a stupid call from some Indian man trying to sell me something or other, I'd gave him a few choice words and hung up. Five minutes later unknown caller again, answered it and yelled some abusive shit down the phone thinking it was them again - it wasn't, it was my bank to let me know I was getting refunded x amount from a thief ATM. I'm telling yous, I was replicating a post box, very embarrassed Edited March 6, 2015 by MoChara Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peterhunter86 8,627 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Dont answer it could be a scam were it charges you for the tiMe your connected Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 They can only charge you if you call them. not the other way round. I had one a few weeks back calling my missus to ask if she wanted to claim for her injuries in an accident she had had in a car (there was no accident, just some ambulance chasing cnut) I demanded the details to show my lawyer as I was going to divorce her for using my car and crashing it "again" hahahaha boy didn`t know what to say, I harassed him for 20 minutes demanding the details etc. My missus was pissing herself laughing. They never called back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 13,268 Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) My favourite is the "i'm willing to talk but first let's talk about jesus" rebuttle Or the Norwegian way of dealing with unwanted calls... F*ck off.. slam Personally I get the phone slammed down on me every week at least once but that's usually because I refuse to bend over and pull my pants down on price.... They always call back Edited March 6, 2015 by mushroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
