Fed up with mobile "con" phonecalls!!?
Hi
I keep getting idiots calling me from allover the place trying to sell me mobile contracts, and it is doing my head in!!!
They say "I am calling from Orange".... etc... They blatantly are not!
"you have triggered your loyalty bonus" is the usual one they use and then they want my name, postcode and password... As if I would give this out to someone who calls me out of the blue!!
If you ask for a number to call them back or an address, they get all funny with you, and start being rude.
I had one 5 mins ago and I just told them my name was "Ivor Biggun" and I live at "69 Letsby Avenue, Mars" and my password was C*CK and they were happy with that, so left it with them... would love to hear the phonecall when they call orange to see if they can switch my mobile to some rubbish contract and give them my personal details...
Is anyone else getting annoyed with these kind of calls?
I had a late night on the beer Friday and got a call from some idiot at 7:45am Saturday morning - not impressed.:mad:
