oscarsdad Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I had three scam calls yesterday in about 5 min. One I answered was an ambulance chaser about a non fault car accident, when asked when it was all he could tell me was βin the last two yearsβ - I told him he was fishing and hung up - he then had the cheek to try to call me straight back! The block feature on mobiles is very useful.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Iβve had loads over the years but the mostΒ amusing one was a bloke who stated that they had information that I had been subject to loud industrialΒ noise in my work place and as a result my hearing mag be damaged and I could claim as a result. When I asked how heβd come by that information, it went all quiet and then he said, βWell......have you?βΒ I burst out laughing, then he did, then I hung up. π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Barbrady Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 (I appreciate this is a bit limited, especially if your not childish like me,Β butβ¦..) Try searching for a celebrity soundboard on a 2nd device (ipad, tablet etc) and save several of the clips. You can then at least have the satisfaction of winding up these irritating cretins up by responding to their questions with one of the downloaded clips. Used to work brilliantly with fonejacker app but I no longer have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spandit Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 I'm a solicitor but I can't give you my services for free. PM me your bank details and the last 3 digits on the back of your bank card and we'll sort it (better hurry as I'm being investigated by HMRC for tax fraud according to the text I had last week π) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spandit Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 On a serious note, if you get a scam text (I got another one today) forward it to "7726" - every network uses this for fraud fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Some time ago I got a call and a foreign sounding name said ''Could I please speak to Mr King'. I answered, suspecting a scam and I advised him that there was no Mr KIng here and never has been. 'Could you please tell me who you are?'Β YesΒ I replied 'Ned Pump now sod off' Couple of hours later the phone rang again, yes, 'Could I please speak to Mr Pump' This went on for about 3 days, until the guy must have either engaged his brain or just got fed up.
