I don't answer the phone to numbers that don't begin with 07.

It makes a change for them
and they are scared to phone me again


Try it Johnny

You Are Most Wise

...lucky you Arista...if only many of the people who have to do cold calling were so fortunate...

it is against the law to cold call (in most circumstances), so absolutely no-one should be cold calling. I don't get any marketing calls as I registered on a site several years ago excluding my phone number. Never had a marketing call since

You do not know anything about them
they may go home to SKYHD on a 4K TV


Hog Check those Lines

..no I don't know anything about them but I doubt they deserve to be told someone will snap their neck....

Look
Its the Fastest way to stop the Feckers


I am a Adult Professional
they should not have phoned a private line

..no they should not but the person on the other end of the phone was just given those numbers to call...and not the person to be angry with ..which I do understand as well though and I think everyone feels frustration sometimes with cold calls but there is a number to dial to stop them so why not do that instead of making threats...

Yes and on their screen
it tells them what line I am


I am not making Threats

Our phone number is ex directory so we shouldn't be receiving any cold calls but we still get them.

I just tell them 'sorry I don't have time/not interested' and please remove my number from your system as it's ex directory.

You did.

Every time you fill in your details online or in a store for a free and sometimes even a paid service. The hidden cost is, you have just given your information away to be used for marketing purposes.

Read the small print.

I usually just say, no thanks and hang up. Must be a **** job though, i do feel a bit sorry for them

Aren't Watchdog doing something this week on stopping cold calling.

No number given is a additional mobile ( turned off alot)


I am a Professional with Private Lines
No punk should ring me.
Don't Get me Angry

Sure
but they just start
up again under 2nd Company name
already reserved


Life Is Short

They Lie and say Yes Madame

Next time tell them your Fella,
will come round there a snap his or her neck

Then They Remove you Number.


Feel The Force

Isn't it illegal to make threats of murder? :umm2:

No

If they want to take me to Court
I will Bankrupt them


Feel The Force

i just answer and then gently put the phone next to my digital radio speaker and let them speak to whoever is on

Yes Good One

Despite being registered with TPS I still get cold calls sometimes. While cold calls are really annoying I try not to take it out on the actual person calling. It's a rotten job, I wouldn't want to do it, but if I needed a job I would. I wouldn't want people being rude to me because I was trying to make a living.

Nothing Wrong With that.

But mine are Private Lines
and I get Angry
