Default Here's what to say!

When you get a PLEB call you on an external line asking if you are the homeowner or manager etc, here's what you can say to them:
(YOU) "Ohh, I say, you not going to sell me anything are you?"........THEM (Ohh no sir I am just letting you know about our......(YOU), "Ohh that's a real shame, you see today I was in a real buying mood and was looking forward to buying something, never mind, bye bye".
I normally hit them with the legal pitch of the Telephone Pref System and they could get a £5000 fine, they are normally really bad at english so that does not work.
I do somemtimes put on a real harsh and fast talking scottish voice, it freaks them out and they do in the end hang up........
Scumbuckets.
I have jyust heard via a teccie mate that the pay per click system is rife with click fruad. They even hire people who have not got a clue what they are doing to click click and click on the same site all day....scumbuckets I say!

Personally I just tell them to f*ck off in my non put-on Scottish voice.

I used to amuse myself by telling them i was on the dole and can i have the windows (or whatever) for free? Nowadays I'm not so polite and just put the phone down.

I vary it at work, sometimes I say the person they are after died last week... that shuts them up, though one did then ask if they could speak to someone else!

Another time it was a call about phone services... I simply said that we have no phones at the office, she asked what I was using right now, and I said it was a banana

It's fun playing with them

Ask them were abouts they are? Bombay? I'm only down the road... Whats the weather like with you etc. They usually get bored and hang up.
