    Did he mention what it was about at all? Then you could google something like Stevenson Double Glazing or something. That is shocking though.

    He'd just started saying "I have one hundred vouchers to give away........."!

    Hope you find who this is.

    Wonder if your phone provider will be of any help (with tracking down witheld numbers)?, not sure if charges would be involved though.

    I remember back a few years ago, this organisation rang us up to ask if we require any help with debt, at the time we were fine and told them no, this female rang back within minutes and her language was absolutely disgusting!!

    Can't remember what company it was but I know they charge for helping out with debt.

    Fingers crossed for you.;)

    contact the police. I

    t is an offence to use obusive language, you may feel threatened by the experience. I am sure they can trace the caller if so inclined, then the call centre, who shopuld have recordings of all calls.

    Buying quality goods which last, should be an investment that saves money. :T
    Buying cheap products which fail, wastes money and costs twice as much in the long run. :mad:

    Count it as a success!!! Really, he got nothing out of you, and hopefully his kids will go hungry tonight, because you did not feel sorry for him or waste your time on his sales pitch. It shows that cold calling is so far down market it nearly is not worth the effort - firstly, whatever it is no one wants it - secondly, because it is such hard work to find anyone interested, most normal people would not do it as a job or would not admit to it if they did do it, so it is going to be less and less able people who do it. Rejoice!

    And it is another thing to say when you get cold called: "Sorry, I am hanging up before you swear at me"

    Whats so shameful that he goes to work - allbeit, in a job you don't feel is very good, instead of claiming lots of benefit? This topic is about his disgusting attitude not how low people who work outbound are. Must be nice to be in a perfect job ;)
