Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 This one usually results in you finding a virus etc on your machine that he will charge you for removing on the spot. Not heard of the details being sold on, though it's likely, but I do know people that have paid in the region of £200 to get the machine cleaned. Quote
Major Stare Posted June 28, 2010 Posted June 28, 2010 Our home phone number is VERY similar to the local(ish) magistrates court. We occasionally get calls asking "when can i pick up our Daz from court" or "wot time do ya close" or "who dowa see when ya open"......... you can tell its a posh area! After a few months of being correct and explaining they have the wrong number, we now go along with the call. Caller... "when can i pick up our Daz from court" Me..... "hes being sent to custardy, please call after 5.30pm" or Caller (after giving hearing details for GBH).. "can i check what time to turn up for the hearing today" Me... "its been postponed till next Monday at 12.30" Quote
John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 My favourite calls are the ones offering Kitchens or Windows for free if we are prepared to be a show home. They then ask how old our kitchen / windows are and I always reply "3 months" The phone soon goes dead Quote
spacecadet Posted June 29, 2010 Posted June 29, 2010 I got called up by some company trying to sell me a conservatory. Was very persitent and kept cutting me off. I told him three times that I live in a 2nd floor flat, but the stupid tw*t didn't realise the implications of this, or just wasn't listening. So I invited them over for a survey When they did arrive, I suggested i'd sign up if he could find a good engineering solution to the problem for a reasonable price, perhaps including the flats below!
