Almost entirely Indian now but a few fake Disneyland prize wins from the US,where you press 9 to talk to a claims agent (ignore the urban myth, I work on digital exchanges you CANT be billed at all when you press a key).

Anyways what's your favourite response?

Depends on my mood, speaking very quietly then screaming F*CK OFF amuses me sometimes.

Pressing 9 and getting all excited about winning a trip to disneyland and talking to the agent like I'm a fully grown man with the brain of a two year old and then suddenly changing to a deep voice and asking her what colour panties she is wearing.

lol if im wrecked i end up talking about something stupid that they arent intrested in. if it was disneyland i think id question micky mouses sexuality, or suggest that umpa lumpas must be a-sexual i dunno tho.

best was leaidng a guy on tha ti would buy a 3g contract from his compnay, he was really happy, then i just hung up when he wanted my info, he rang again, i just played dumb :).

Put the phone down but still connected to the call and ignore it for half an hour then see if they are still there :)

Usualy I get double glazing or mobile phone offers, I play along with them, asking for the best the best they offer and then say no thank you I already have a good deal else were. :p

Love how they keep offering more and more on top of their 1st deal they give out, then awhile later you say no thanks, love wasting their time heh, might make me abit of a bitch but pfft. :p

I find that playing along with them and when they ask for your info just repet whatever they say.... play dumb , then

"Ohh right, i though you where giving me your details"


or

Ask random scary questions

"how much does a body weigh ? "
"What's the best way of getting blood stains out of a carpet ?"
Depending on the gender of the person calling you : "How many 10 p peices can you get in your foreskin ?"


but best of all is

"What are you wearing ?"

If the answer you just start heavy breathing on the phone .. it only takes 10 secs before they just hang up :cheers:
