Okay folks this isn't a what I should do thread.
I know about the TPS and their gummy attempts being toothless and all.
I know about the ICO and the passing on of information and selling details etc.
This is me.
I more want this thread to exist on the internet as a lesson to those who cold call.
What's your best ideas for dealing with them in the 'moment'.
I had two tonight - withheld numbers (they are sensible afterall).
11pm ish and then 12.30ish.
Auto diallers - I didn't do myself credit on the first one. I waited until I thought it connected and then told them to F*** off and called called cocksuckers and hung up.
The second call I got more creative, but it was a new one on me.
It sounded like either a fax machine giving birth, or like somebody was replaying their best scene from call of duty with gunshots.
It was looped but depending on what I said that loop did break but the clear peado on the other end of the line didn't have the balls to answer - maybe they were in their mum?
I've heard people talk about using whistles, just plane abuse, keeping them on the line to waste their money.
What's your's?
Tonight I kept them on the line and abused them and it didn't make me big, clever or intelligent.
But it was fun.
How often do you get to ask somebody if they prefer fingering their dad or themselves - and then hearing the tape stop for a second?
Oh and to wrap this up for a giggle given I'm on Sky I thought I'd check out what they say for Malicious calls.
I quote and I'm not taking the piss - this is their advice.
If you receive nuisance or malicious calls, including silent calls, please read our advice below on avoiding these calls.
If you suspect that the calls you're receiving are of a criminal nature, you should consider contacting the Police. Examples of these types of calls include:
Threatening bodily harm;
Sexual assault; and
Racially motivated threats.
Less threatening calls include:
Annoying/silent calls; and
Hoaxes.
Surely a Rupert Murdoch company on their advice page could at least give some advice on how to avoid calls like this other than phone the police?
Maybe even a line saying get your far younger missus to slap somebody?
What part of that tells you how to avoid the calls?
Are they worried if they really give advice they can't bug you in sales calls trying to sell more of their crap?
The telling line then comes when you get to some advice - login and 'choose' how Sky contact you.
If Sky was trying to contact me I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be at gone midnight and sound like call of fucking duty!
Unless they want a booty call and have seriously got their hands on a very irregular vibrator?
Does anybody think their elves will be able to tell me tomorrow which withheld numbers called me?
Or will they, with all their technology have the Chris Kamara defence - I didn't see it Jeff.
