Debt Consildation Phonecall

[Fizzimyst]

Just had a phonecall from a company who told me they have information on me, that I have unsecured loans.

Yes

They said they could consolidate this for me in to a small monthly payment.

Right

He went on for ten minutes, during which I rolled a ciggie and looked out the window. He asked me how it sounded.

I said.....

I dont need it thank you, I just won big in Vegas, only came back today, I'm never going to need to worry about money ever again .......then shouted YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Silence then okay so you dont need our service?

No I'm RICH YIPPEEEEEEEEEEE YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YIPPEEEEEEEEEE

They hung up

I havent won anything but it made me chuckle

ETS: I am off to post this in soapbox where I thought I was pmsl

Someone posted in SB a while back about having a cold call from some sales person and they went on about what an awful day they had etc etc, it gave me the idea

OUTSTANDING

A friend of mine used to do something similar with double glazing / kitchen / insurance salesmen. They would tell him what they were selling and he would spend the next few minutes saying how fantastic the product was and how he and his wife had only been talking about windows / kitchens / insurance that very day. The cold caller would get all excited and ask for an appointment at which point my pal would tell them that the reason they thought windows / kitchens / insurance were so fantastic was because they had only recently purchased new windows / kitchen / insurance. It didn't take long for him to stop receiving cold calls

You can register with the phone preference service which stops all these cold calls. Its free. Just ring BT. The number is in your BT phone book.
For those not with BT--sorry--I don't know if the others do this.

I'm not with BT

LMFAO!!! I too like to toy with cold callers!! Double glazing salesmen are my fave....I get all "interested" tell them sizes etc etc and the say "can you send the bill to the council as they own my house and i'm sure they'll be happy to pay!!!!" ...they soon put the phone down!! and the latest to call was trying to sell insurance - so i tried to sell him a pony!!!!

It wasn't a blackpool number was it (01253)? I've had two calls on my mobile in the last few days from a number in blackpool and can't help thinking it's a scam of sorts

 

[Fizzimyst]

It was a witheld number and he sounded like he was from India

Pmsl @ Lily x

Place phone on side, still connected. Leave there
