Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

I used to automatically give a hostile response and hang up to any caller with an asian accent.

However there have been two genuine callers in recent months who had such an accent, so I now use a first response of 'who is calling please?' before I decide whether to engage them in conversation.

I pick the phone up....let them say 'hello' a few times, while I say absolutely nothing.......after 4 'Hello's'(that's my current maximum score) there is a click and they are gone.
Only when I am in need of fun do I recourse to the 'Coroners Officer' thing.

I received a call today from an Asian lady, who told me there was no need to worry, she was not trying to sell me anything, it was just a survey for a consumer group. I explained that I only speak to people who are trying to sell me something and hung up the phone. I think her name was Katy. My name is Abdul.

I tend not to answer the landline during the day and early evening. Most people I would want to speak to have my mobile number and it is easier to screen calls with anyway. We don't have the caller ID facility on the landline cos we're not with BT.

Re: Nuisance telephone calls.
 

My latest tactic is to speak to the cold caller in a cheery, gay voice, saying I would be delighted to answer their marketing questions. I do say that I charge for the service, and once I have received and cashed their cheque for £20 I will give them 5 minutes of my time. Strangely, they decline my offer.
