I'm sure most people won't be taken in but be aware of this phone scam - they have rung me at least 3 times!

They rang me quite recently as well, but this is the type of phone calls which are ended very swiftly anyway.Originally posted by JoeG View Post
I've put the Guardian-article onto my Facebook wall btw. -
I find that the words 'What are you wearing?', uttered as though accompanied by a rather desperate leer, generally bring these unwanted calls to a satisfactorily abrupt end. Whoever is at the other end of the line is not to know that the subject of his or her garments is of no interest to me, but that getting rid of him or her is. And the 'excuse me?' or brief silence before they hang up is much more enjoyable than simply putting the phone down!

In my case I sometimes answer in Welsh, as Wales-operated call centers should be able to offer me a service in Welsh.Originally posted by Ofcachap View PostI find that the words 'What are you wearing?', uttered as though accompanied by a rather desperate leer, generally bring these unwanted calls to a satisfactorily abrupt end.
