Similar thing here jaysay. The girl started going on about debt and I told her "Sorry I don't lend money to people I don't know" she laughed and hung up.
An alarm system company in Morecambe had the same number as me years ago apart from the code which is 0524. I got woken many times with the police ringing me up to reset an alarm or something or other. One night I told the police lady who had rung three times in 5 minutes to clear off as I was trying to break into a safe and she was holding me up. On the fourth attempt I explained her mistake and she realized she had dialled 0254. I think in those days the codes didn't have the 1 after the 0.
It doesn't happen now, either crime has stopped in Morecambe or the alarm company has gone bust because everybody rang me instead of them.
