Annoying phone calls
Discussion
The wife had a 0843 number call her earlier,i answered and it was a nice chap informing me that id had an accident,these people are bloody clever to know that..
when asked if it had had an accident i replied that id just come out of prison for running over and killing a old lady, told him i had to swerve many times before i managed to hit her
the b
d on the phone laughed, i pretended to cry and told him i was upset but could i claim for the damage she did to my car. He hung up.. 
I use to just put the phone down, now i love to play. The only ones that piss me off are the aholes that text in the middle of the night,with these ones i try to contact the manager to moan.

I disagree. With BT8500 or trucall the phone doesn't even ring.
On the assumption that your post is replying to mine:-I have family living abroad, the system doesn't recognise their numbers. I would be rejecting calls from my kith and kin.
As I said - it really isn't a big deal. Answer the phone - realise it's a scam call of one kind or another - put the phone down.
Don't engage them in ANY sort of conversation. Don't get wound up. Don't go spending money.

But I'd still rather the phone didn't ring at all. Each to their own I suppose.
Mind you, when we did have a normal phone we never answered it anyway

You can give kith and kin a code to enter to get through.I have family living abroad, the system doesn't recognise their numbers. I would be rejecting calls from my kith and kin.

But if being interrupted by calls doesn't bother you, fine, you don't need to do anything about it. It gets right on my tits, and the trucall is worth every penny.

I had a new one earlier today though on my mobile:
"This is the Hearing Clinic calling about damage to your hearing from working in industry."
"I've never worked in industry."
"Sorry to have troubled you...."
What were they hoping to achieve?em to work well on our landline, we only get one or two nuisance calls a month.
I had the same call last week."This is the Hearing Clinic calling about damage to your hearing from working in industry."
"I've never worked in industry."
"Sorry to have troubled you...."

I guess they are offering compensation Lawyers if you were not using ear protection?
It was followed by a hasty hang up.

Totally agree with you, whenever I receive a call from one of these unwanted callers I always sound totally gutted, then ask who was injured in the accident at my workplace, which confuses them completely, because they then ask once again who was injured, and I return the question that I didn't know but they told me that someone had been injured, so who was it? ...hahahawhen asked if it had had an accident i replied that id just come out of prison for running over and killing a old lady, told him i had to swerve many times before i managed to hit her

Apart from which, if their name, number and address appear on the internet how can they prove beyond reasonable doubt that you posted it.
