Sky box insurance

It is 18 months since i went over to Virgin from Sky.In the last week i have had 3 calls from India telling me my Sky insurance is up for renewal .First i never had any insurance for my Sky box and why are they calling me now? If it,s a lady i tell her she has a sexy voice and can she talk some more,they hang up straight away .If it,s a man i say that the person they want is upstairs and pretend to call there name .I assure the man from India that the person they want will speak to them shortly.I just leave the phone of the hook for a couple of minutes and then replace it on the receiver.

    Because your box ceased to be covered by Sky after the first 12m.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    And you wonder why they keep ringing back? Instead of being a willy, tell them you don't want it.
    How are they meant to know you don't want it if you just mess about with them on the phone for ages?

    What matty said; stop being a willy.

    It would be easier and less stressful just to say you've moved to Virgin and ask them nicely to remove your details from their database.

    The only reason you're here bleating like a little girl is down to your own childish games.

    Tell them you are not interested.
    Then if they carry on trying to talk you can put the phone down and leave them there.

    After telling people 3 times you would think they would listen .Any person who calls me trying to sell me products i have not inquired about will get all the abuse they deserve.

    But you didn't say that - in your opening post you made no mention of telling them you're not interested. You just jumped straight in with your silly antics. :)

    All you said in your first post is that you stalk the women, and give the male operatives a nice break from other timewasters. No mention of actually telling them that you're not interested I'm afraid!

    You're still a willy for not telling us the full story in your OP.

    TPS doesn't stop calls that originate from outside the UK.

    I do understand how T P S works but i have the right to respond to unwanted calls how i think appropriate.
