[panther]

Can someone please tell me how I stop these annoying gits from keep ringing me!!??

Fot the past 2 days I have been getting phone calls asking for a mrs Farren, thats not my name!...I tell em no ya cant cuz she dont live here!!

The Foreign cheeky gits then ask for my address to stop them calling and to take me off the calling list!!


Excuse me, (I say), but why would i give ya my address when a mrs Farren doesnt even live here, and never has??

even if she did once have my number, she certainly never lived here!

LOL...then the cheeky git put the phone down on me!!!....I tell ya, if i get another im gonna scream at em!ahhhhhhh.gif

and it wont be nice

[emamum]

get yerself a whistle and as soon as they ask for mrs farren.... blow it down the phone as hard as you can..... bet they dont ring back

[Lolly]

We get the all the time for a Mrs Riley, who lives in Rishton. I just say "wrong number" and put the phone down. Yeah its annoying but you aint ever going to stop them.

[flashy]

just scream very loudly down the phone and tell them to pi$$ off

[panther]

and next i will be racially abusive sorry if this offends anybody
but the calls have to stop

[emamum]

next time put one of the kids on to jabber to them lol

[***Mr D***]

Do what I do.

Start talking complete jibberish to them, make it a game as to how long you can keep them on the phone.

Tell them you will go and get her and just leave the phone off the hook till they hang up.

I used to get phone contracts offered all the time.

Best I managed was over an hour till they gave up.

Dont get that many nowadays.

tell them it is Mrs Farren, then tell them your being made bankrupt ... works for me !

I get about two or three wrong number calls a week, just tell them wrong number and hang up. I get a lot of calls that when I anwere its a fax tone, I've had some one on this afternoon who tried about ten times to send a fax, all these faxes are conected with a Backpool motor bike firm, Blackpools code is 01253, I did manage to cut down on these by writing to this company and telling them to reissue there fax number with the correct code which did help for a while, but every now and then I get an afternoon like today, I've been frothing

It's really quite simple (but a bit unethical). When they ask for Mrs Farren, tell them that you are Mrs Taylor from the Coroner's office and you are there with the police investigating the suspicious death of Mrs Farren. Say that all Mrs Farren's contacts have to come in for questioning and ask for the caller's name and address.

I'll bet money that they don't ring again.........

I keep getting calls asking for Mr Iqbal...all to do with credit...asking if I own my house.
I tell them it is none of their damn business...but I think that in future I am going to take a different tack.......I am going to pretend to be very deaf....and keep saying 'excuse me - can you just say that again'.......I will see if I can infuriate them as much as they infuriate me.

Or I might just say 'No it isn't raining here at all...why is it raining there?'
'ooh I do hope it doesn't rain here, it plays havoc with my lumbago.....have you got lumbago? .....No, well young man I hope you never ever get it...it stops you getting out and about....where did you say you were ringing from?'

See how long I can keep it going
