1353809 2013-09-23 00:03:00 When they launch into their script, I just ask them "Which computer? I have several - if you know there's a problem on my computer, you obviously know which one" - and that response must be so far off their script that they usually just start reading from the beginning of their script again .

So I just repeat my question, until either they or I get tired of the loop .

It usually ends by me calling them unsavoury names and hanging up . . . :)

That's a good one!

If I get one at the end I ask them if they like their job trying to steal money from people?

1353810 2013-09-23 03:12:00 I just tell them I don't have a computer. Fastest way to get them off the line.


Being inundated with calls about home insulation and special subsidies at the moment... :rolleyes:

That's what husband does.
I've lost interest in them...they don't deviate from the script so it doesn't really matter what you say, they loop.

We also get HRV calls endlessly.......

1353811 2013-09-23 04:06:00 I don't have ceilings and I do have double glazing so that shuts up some of them. I even went so far as to sign up for one of the under floor deals only to have them look under my house and decide they didn't know how to deal with that so it still just has silver paper.

The joys of triboard houses, half the contractors who look at it are not familiar with the construction method.

Mind you, the HRV people seem to have successfully persuaded people that they have an endless supply of warm dry air stashed away in their roof space just waiting for a nice cold frosty winters morning :thumbs:

1353813 2013-09-23 07:03:00 Just had a new idea!

Next time I'll tell them 'it was stolen last week' and ask them to tell me where it is, I mean, surely they must be able to tell me the IP address if they have found a virus on it? etc etc. Then maybe I'll drop that the Police are monitoring my incoming calls in case the thieves call me etc etc and I have to get off the line.

If that doesn't shift them, THEN I'll give them a serve!

Cheers
