cracked it, how to get won a holiday !!!!!! off the phone

st999

I had a call today telling me I had won a holiday again,

having nothing else to do, retirement is wonderfull, I started stringing him along, answering all his questions, using a fake name and details obviously, 8 people going on holiday etc, then it came to the important question!

Do you have a credit card?

No says I they don't allow me one because I am a registered bankrupt.

He hung up on me, no goodbye or anything:mad:

I will defo remember that for the next time I am in the middle of cooking a meal and some idiot rings telling me I've won an all expenses trip to somewhere exotic. Why do they always ring when you are busy?

Why you so mad

It works with just about any telesales people it's great. The only other one i've used with sales people was someone trying to sell me a conservatory, they gave me a rough price and my best mate gave them his card and told him he'd do it for £1500 less, we stopped getting those people coming round as well

A friend of mine gave me a tip for getting rid of cold callers. When asked what you are currently paying (for phone, utilities etc) just ask them to hold on a sec whilst you get your last bill. Put the phone down on the side and carry on with what you're doing. They get fed up and hang up when they realise you're not coming back on the phone.

I used the 'I've no bank account, I'm bankrupt.' on a chugger before. There he was all enthusiastic, bouncing around me until I reeled off that line, then it was sudden deflation with 'I'm sorry to hear that.'

Once I got someone trying to sell me a mobile phone contract. I told him I never use phones and he asked how. I told him I used telepathy and he hung up.

I don't get any utility cold calls anymore. WHen they asked what I currently pay I inform them all my bills are free, How they always ask. I simply tell them some wild story as to why I sued the utility company and instead of getting compo they supply my FOC for ever e.g I get free phone line for ever (gas/elec/whatever).

Just tell em a load of BS

I used to ask them out on a date - you'd be amazed how many people don't seem to like being hit on by a stranger...

Seriously though, I signed up with the Telephone Preference Service because I got so outraged about cold calls. I don't get any now. Check out the website https://www.tpsonline.org.uk
