Played with a cold caller today...

[Tiggy_dorset]

Was at work and answered a call. Usual call asking if I had an accident in the past 3 years.
I normally tell cold callers to eff off, or simply not interested. I was in a playful mood today and decided to play with the caller for the first time.

This is genuine and not exagarated..

Caller: Hi Im calling from blah blah, have you had an accident blah blah
Me: (In a dumbed down voice) Oh er yeah I think I did have an accident a little while ago
Caller: What type of injury did you suffer Sir?
Me: I think I banged my head and suffered from amnesia
Caller: Do you know when you had the injury
Me: erm not really sure, the amnesia causes me to suffer memory loss
Caller: Ok Sir do you have a wife I can speak to
Me: umm I dont know, when I go home there is always a woman there...Im not really sure who she is though (Caller realises Im pulling his leg)
Caller: Well then send her to me, I gonna F*** her!
Me: Oh goody, can I watch?
Caller: Of course
Me: Actually, thinking about it, I reckon the woman could be my mother. I'll still send her along anyway!
*End of conversation*

I chuckled about this all afternoon. I think I have found a new hobby

No smiley, not sure if serious. Remember he's thousands of miles away.

Last one I got I tried the Mario kart one again but my GF took the phone off me as I was being too silly for her liking. I might add my number to some mailing lists so I can get more calls, they're fun.

Don't do that, once you get on them, your stuck with it you cannot get yourself removed. I get from 2-3 to half a dozen every day. Sometimes someone, sometimes recorded voices. I filled in a draw for a free holiday at the camping show in the NEC with Saga insurance, I pretty sure they sold my details on. I think DVLA or some government body also have sold them on as well as I get calls asking for me by my full name which I never use, only on official documentation

He clearly thought he had a chance of a sale, then got angry when he realised he was being had

I got one TELLING, not asking me if me I had been in an accident in the last three years! I did get knocked off my bike in 2010 but that was more than three years ago
When I told them they had incorrect information they said "Oh... well has anyone you know had an accident?"
I hung up.

Oooh, the possibilities for winding someone up! Must try it out. "Oh, yes, my poor friend XXXX had an awful accident, best to call him late at night though as he works odd shifts...."
