er why do you continue to listen?? soon as i realise i dont know this person............F### O##...............and phone down!! lol

I had three cold calls in a row once, All to do with me putting information in a comparison site for van insurance the phone rang again and the woman on the other end couldn't pronounce my name properly. After telling her (politely ) that I was busy, fed up with cold calls and that she can't even say my name - she went on to tell me that she was from the bank and needed me to confirm a payment.

Yes I apologised.

I have had calls from them too, best to tell anyone you just have a policy of not buying anything over the phone and stick to it.

Same company had me over, 2 years ago. Phoned saying they were police, then saying dont worry your'e not in trouble and I fell for it. Cost me £140 for nothing.
Latest one that keeps trying says its for a school awareness magazine for teenage pregnancies, they sent my mate an invoice for £200 and he never spoke to them.

Ahh that scam as well, know a few people who have been asked to confirm payments callers asks for card details to confirm your identity and hey presto money will disappear from your account if you don't sus them. The people I know didn't get stung as they were on the ball and told them to get lost

How long before nobody dare answer any phone calls or emails? I get scam paypal ones every now and again - can normally spot them due to spelling mistakes/grammer, etc. Trouble is they're getting better and better.

Got one today asking if I want to participate in something or other, and I think it's genuine; but there again, is it?

It's a ***d up world unfortunately. Daz
