Well, that's a good way to sell your products

I just had a call from someone trying to flog me an advert space on Google and I said thanks, but no thanks. He then proceeded to waffle on and on about why I should blah blah blah, and I just kept repeating "I'm not interested, I'm not interested" in as pleasant a way as you possibly can with people like this.

He then had the nerve to say "Shut your fking mouth"

So I called him a ct and put the phone down.

I feel I got the upper hand!

To waste his time, if he is going to ignore the OPs answer of 'i'm not interested' why not waste his time?

A quick Google of the number and it would appear it's pretty dodgey...

You would in effect be tying up your own phone line, cutting your nose off to spite your face. I think the OP did the right thing, short, sharp and to the point. However, I think the OP may have signed him self up for several more phone calls from 'partner' companies.

I hadn't thought of that...

Meh might have ressurected this to the wrong one

We get a few of these in work, thankfully we now have multiple phone lines so if they dont accept a firm no straight away, I press the internal call button, apologise another call is coming in I will pop them on hold till, the line goes dead, one hung on for like half hour, I picked up line 1 again, laughed whilst asking if he was still there, he said yes I put the phone down

Were they using a fix cable phone?

Twice I got phone whose their number using the same service with mine notifying me that my mobile number won prize for my faithfulness using their service. Company as caliber as cellular provider will use fix number rather than mobile number.

I'd play around with them who want to play around with me. The first one was woman, more than half hour I spent my time with her on mobile, although at the end she asked me to remit some amount in order to be able to claim the prize.

Perhaps, I'd be more generous if she told me honestly that she needs money...
