My Child on the prowl...

Moocow5

Here we go again.....I haven't entered any of the My Child comps since all the problems people had a few months back...but today they started calling again:rolleyes:


"You entered a competition for blah blah blah tuition"
Me "No I didn't"
MC "You didn't?"
Me "No I didn't. I don't have any children".

Thought I'd got rid of them, but they obviously passed the call list onto another person and they called again about two hours later:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I may not be so polite next time they disturb me....

I just heard from these again as well, his excuse was that the computers are down and they're using old phone lists to call people when I asked why he was calling when in the past I keep telling them I don't have any kids!

I too got a call and was absolutely amazed at how polite they were! I actually said it was nice to receive a pleasant call as opposed to previous very rude ones and he apologised for the previous callers attitudes!

I think i need to sit down i am in shock!

Did they ring from the number 02078376600 as we were wondering in this thread?

Yes, I missed 3 calls from this number today and when I searched on google it came back with an Indian food Manufacturer in London. So tonight the same number phoned and I answered and the young man was very pleasant but spoke very fast:

"you entered a competition with My Child about exam leaflets"
"No - I didn't, I no longer enter your comps"
"How old are your children as you entered a competition on exam leaflets"
"I didn't enter a comp and I have no chil......"
"how many children do you have between 7 and 14"
"I don't have any children between that age (This is a lie but they don't know!!)
"Ok, bye"

Hoorah - thankfully thats the last of them!:mad:
