Cold calls how do you respond to them?
I've got to the point now with cold callers that i welcome them and sound excited (in a patronizing kinda way lol) that they have chosen me to read their scripted bullshyte too. I say hang on a mo please as i have a call on my mobile brb one sec ok. Then i pretend to be talking on the mobile loud enough so they can here me say... Yes police officer they are here on my land line again,can you please trace the call now. They soon sod off when i do that! :joker::joker::joker:
What do you do when a cold caller calls? |
"Suck my dyke dick"
|

You should ask where they are calling from and for the name of their company. If they are calling from anywhere inside the EU from the EU they have to follow the ICO guidelines. This means when you ask to be removed from their calling list and your data mustn't be sold on to other marketing companies, they are obliged to follow your instructions. If you don't do this, they just keep selling your information on and you will continue to get cold calls.
If they are outside of the EU there is absolutely nothing you can do about it because they are a law unto themselves. |
I'm really polite coz I used to work in a call centre so I feel sorry for them! They spend all day getting sworn at and hung up on for not very much pay
|
I just put it down.
|
Hang up.
|
I used to put the phone to my TV to annoy them but now I just hang up.
|
Usually "hello?" at first
|
i'm usually really polite and tell them i'm sorry but maybe try someone else
like it's just their job, they are only trying to make money lmao |
I pretend they've called a sex line and ask them what they're wearing

..yeah life is short and pretty crumby if you have people threatening to snap your neck when you probably only earn a pittance amount each day in a working life of endless rejection...
