Abusive Sales Call

Posts: 791 Forumite
I've just received a call from a foreign sounding guy asking to speak to whoever is in charge of the phonebill. He obviously thought we were a business to start off with, and my wife does have a registered business using our home phone number.
He was probably wanting us to switch to another company, and indeed I did receive a similar call from a similar-sounding person a few weeks ago, trying to create the illusion that he was part of BT to get me to divulge info re our typical usage ...
Anyway, to save me & this latest guy the hassle, I asked if this is a sales call so I could say that I wasn't interested. I didn't get the chance though as his response was "F$CK OFF"!!!
I'm sure people must have had ruder ones than that though.:rotfl:

His sales patter could do with a bit of brushing up."You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0
