  • These idiots have been plaguing me for a while now. It doesn't seem to matter what I say, they just keep ringing. It's driving me insane. :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Keep the faith and don't let them get to you, treat it as a game. Once I got my head straight and believed that I was doing all I could to pay off my debts I treat it all as a game and being ultra competetive I NEVER LOSE !

    Try the hot pants version where you keep repeating to the caller about the sexy hot pants.
    This is the original link to Zinc oxides post to give you an idea of how it goes,
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=741653&highlight=zinc+oxide

    but the hot pants version goes similar to this.

    They ask to speak to you so they give their name. If you don't hear it properly ask for them to spell it out to you. you can do this 3 or 4 times, my record is 15 times by the way.

    Then reply "oh my god is it really you [sanjeet, or whatever] It's so long since I saw you, are you still wearing those sexy little hot pants we so loved together?
    They either ignore the reply and try to continue on with the next question. You keep the same line about sex and wicked nights in seedy hotels etc, Describe the hot pants and what you did in them, make up your own little replies based on the info in the link from ZO above and stick to it.

    It doesn't matter what sex they are, it works as you are either chatting up the opposite sex to you or even better you are offering the idea that they are gay or lesbian which really bu$ggers [pardon the pun] then up.

    Keep the faith and keep a list of these replies and others offered on here by each phone. Besides whilst you are thinking of these little ditties you are not focusing on the worry of debt.

    Someone should post a script to follow.
    You get points for how closely you manage to follow the script to any cold caller (or DCA?).

    something like
    Hello, who's that?

    Sorry I didn't quite catch that - can you repeat it please?

    Can you spell that?
    (extra points for repeating).

    Who did you want to speak to?

    Where did you get this number?

    What is this call about?

    You sound familiar, have we we spoken to each other before?
