Cold Callers - Spoofing (Personal) Area Codes

Sassafras

I like to turn the tables on them by trying to recruit them into my Armageddon cult or inviting them to my Jehovah's Witness meetings. just depends on how I feel at the time.

I tell them if they take part in my survey I’ll take part in theirs,first question (if I can get that far)-
“ out of 100 people what percentage can be arsed to take part in their survey “
or I pretend to be deaf/ foreign and shout down the line- at least it amuses the kids..
or when asked about my recent accident ask them which one I’ve had 5,that confuses them
The wife’s very sympathetic to them “ they’re only doing their jobs etc” but I’m like fuck em,
parasites.

My preferred tactic when called about my “accident” is to say-
“I’m glad you called! Can you tell me about the accident, I must have amnesia & cant remember it! can I claim for amnesia?” 
Great fun. 

Ive got a friend who acts like he’s had an “accident” in his pants & asks about cleaning costs etc.

I don't even have a phone connected to the landline anymore, just use mobiles for calls. 

Sadly, the recent cold calls I've had have all been automated, so no hijinks for me
