"I love the calls that tell me my computer and broadband is running slow and if i give them access they can sort it out.
Bless 'em.  "
I keep them talking. Eventually we get to a point where I have to give them access and I start talking about curtains. |

After I've finished listening to all their waffle i tell them I've worked in IT for 20 years and then they put the phone down.  |

I use to love the "windows virus" calls. Kept 1 guy going for nearly 2 hours, kept giving him first 4 digits of a debit card then start asking really in depth questions about virus he was gonna sort, then I would give the first 4 numbers again with a another random digit and repeat my whole worried questioning .....this 1 starter really losing it with me, shouting "just give me the other 12 numbers", could hear him banging his desk lol! In the end I said "oh shit sorry just remembered my system is lynx not windows" and started laughing......he threw every swear word he knew at me |

I love it if I get a "You've been in a car accident recently" call.
I have two stock responses. I either ask them that seeing as they know so much about me, what is my name, what is the registration number of the car I was in and where did the accident happen, or I will say "yes, I have been in an accident". They get all excited and ask if I was injured, so I reply, "yes, fatally, but I was resurrected three days later as my middle name is Jesus".  |

I'd love you to fix my windows. Tell me, what curtain rod do I need? |

"What's wrong with just hanging up?
Keeping them on the phone saves them ripping off other people. So were actually providing a good service. Lol"
Better me winding them up than them scamming someone |

I normally go really quiet with them ones then say "I didnt mean to leave her like that I was gonna call for help but was scared" in a really quiet voice , they always say "sorry wrong person" and hang up. Not once have I got 1 to play along the boring feckers |

Oh I have fun winding them up sometimes. I once heard of someone who wound a cold called up about being in a car accident. The caller went on about how he can make a claim for injuries. When asked about his injuries the blood said he'd been decapitated. The caller still didn't pick up on it and carried on asking how his injuries affected him. Eventually the caller asked to confirm what decapitation meant. He then asked how the man was managing to talk to which the man replied I'm sat on one chair and my head is on the other.
Seriously, how thick can you get, that caller must of been clueless. |

Some cold calls are amazing!
I had one today where they said they were “calling about the minor traffic incident” I was involved in.
I replied “it wasn’t minor, two people died!” - then there was an awkward silence and they hung up on me!
Guess they didn’t want to take THAT no win, no fee case!

I also believe that if you keep them on the line, it will cost them more and the scam won't be as cost effective for them. If it's just a legitimate cold call, I'm polite. If I know it's a scam, I'll try to piss them off as much as possible.  |

I'm now imagining the person's mum shagging a tram in a skip. That's quite an image. |
