Had 2 calls from a company 1 yesterday and 1 today,something to do with offering N.H.S Staff a discount.
Said I would offer a discount,but not paying anything,to offer that though,phone went dead also 
Scally scum

[AshWhite]

I wonder what sort of turnover these companies are seeing? Somehow, I dont think there'll be any audited accounts for any of 'em.

[M.Acorn]

I got caught out by the books for schools scam,in the 2nd year of trading.Went to the school I asked the books to be sent too,and guess what,they never received anything.
So I am uber careful now.

I fell for the NHS one about three years ago, a staff handbook being produced for my local hospital, £560.00 for a page, never had a single enquiry!

Never again.

Every year I type this out, so apologies to any of you from the area, but the epicentre of this carry on is the Liverpool-St Helens-Manchester line.
Whenever I get a call with that accent the phone just gets put down.

Hi

The best one is when they ring and say that you have already agreed to it,then start off by saying thank you for your surport blah blah

Theres another one not sure if its a scam but they wont leave me alone its called the forresters fund

[M.Acorn]

The N.H.S one was not a withheld number,it was an 0191 code

[jasonl]

A fw times lately I have been sat in front of a computer as they call, I google the number and more often than not it will give a telepest/scam watch website ,the company address - usually northwest based and other info which I read back to them

[Carpet Dawg]

I usually just hang up on them as soon as they start talking. Not got time to listen to thier "offerings"

[John Milnes]

Were calling on ''behalf of'' doctors, police, estate agents etc...usually withheld no.

The other one...we are experts at putting you in first place on Google.

In my ten years, not one call has led to anything.

Once when I said I wasn't interested, I was told to F off. Last week I told some idiot to F off as he tried to humiliate me on the phone.

This week I got some chinese idiot....I asked him why he didn't get a proper job like me rather than scam people....he switched the phone off

Beats me how some people will lower themselves so much and they probably don't earn much money.

The peops who run these scams are nothing more than parasites

[Jim_77]

When I get cold called, they get as far as "Can I speak to the person in charge of...." before I hang up.

Time wasters, all of em, I don't give them one second more of my time than I have to.  They are costing me for the call divert as well, otherwise I'd put them "on hold"

[Neil Williams]

Who was it on here who mentioned about when he gets these calls he breaks into "I like apples, do you like apples" and just keeps that going 
I've tried that a couple of times just for a laugh and the startled tone on the other end is well worse the fun.

[Phillip Mold]

Me! Hope you make sure you find out what colour they like, where the best ones come from and which side of the tree they should be picked first
