Calls from Virgin Media (NOT)
I'm getting annoyed, in the last two days I've had 10 calls claiming to be from VM.
The person has an Indian accent, I tell them "YOU ARE NOT FROM VM AND STOP CALLING", i then hang up and block the number. They vary from 05, 08, & 020 numbers. The 05 numbers it does say VOIP number. Doing a Google search, and they don't come up as anything other than india. I guess next time, just hang up without answering. I'm getting to the stage to telling them to fuff off. |

Next time, ask them for proof they're a VM employee and also where is the £67 refund that you were promised on the last call :D

I am a bit more curt in my response to these calls. FOUR in one hour the other day.
I now tell them to "Far Cough". |
Re: Calls from Virgin Media (NOT)
I have many 'routines' for these type of callers . . the latest being that whoever they ask to speak to sadly died last week . . . sometimes I manage to ramble on for over 30 seconds about burnt beyond recognition, bodies recovered from rubble, shouldn't have taken that flight etc etc before they hang up.
Yes I know, too much time on my hands now I'm retired :D |

When I get the 'We're calling about your recent car accident' I normally reply with that's quick as they're still cutting me out of the wreckage!
I also enjoy the calls telling me my NI number has been cancelled and they're about to ask the Old Bill to come round to lock me up! I tell them that'll save me a few quid every month and thank for the heads up so I skip town! |

If it is the old "we are from Openreach call" i am now experimenting with using a virtual machine to wind them up. It still at the beginning and i am still learning but i am getting there :)
If its the "police will be informed" i just say i have a bag packed and i will wait for them to come and pick me up :) If it is the accident one i just claim i don't have a licence and have never driven a car. |

We used to get calls on the landline, trying to get us to switch phone provider. In the end I told them "sorry, we don't have a phone". They didn't call again.

i don't get cold calls, mainly because i never give my number out - top tip that.
