oh, the youtube videos are fun, i'm still getting calls tho.

i'm using 'oompah music' now

i say, please hold the line then put the phone near the computer speaker and play german oompah music, kinda like putting them on hold.

 

sometimes i just say when they tell me my internets going to be cut off in half an hour,

"great, i'm stuck on your carpy 2 year contract, if you cut it off i can join a good company without paying the early termination fee!"

 

then they get angry, call me an idiot and hang up.


I love that!!!

I have not got as far as listening to what they want to tell me but that's a really good one.

 

I have a friend who had a scam caller, telling ehr there was something wrong with her internet (I don't think it was Telstra tech dept, I forget who they were pretending to be). She told them not to worry, her husband was a computer expert and worked in the field and would sort it out in minutes.

The man said-do not lie, madam.

She replied-why not, you are!

I don't normally get them ringing at night -  because

 

I won't answer during the day now they are trying to

 

catch me out at night. They are even hanging up when

 

they know the answering machine answers.

Very considerate of you, David.

 

Maybe we could play them the winning song from Eurovision?

 

But just the first 30 seconds in a loop
