isnt it great that after you get a phone call from a PPI company that the caller says 'you're fecking mental' or 'its a waste of time talking to you' and then hangs up......

I confuse the hell out of them by telling them I've NEVER had ANY finance. They just can't get that concept! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

The advantages of living in Nigeria where the mobile phone networks are "not very stable". I just say a few times : HELLO, can't hear anything, HELLO CAN'T HEAR YOU, HANGING UP NOW. And they don't know whether it is real or not because that is what the phones here are like. Second time they call, their number is saved as "advertising X" and I won't answer.

There was a piece n the paper the other day about a bloke who set up a premium rate number and gave it out to these scum when they called...netted himself £300 so far although it is apparently in breach of their usage guidelines..fair play to him though...

I answer then place the phone on my desk and get on with whatever it was I was doing before the call - quite amusing to see how long they carry on talking for.... 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car! |

I was listening to Jeremy Vine last week and they were discussing PPI calls. One listener deals with them by engaging them in conversation, asking lots of personal questions then eventually saying 'By the way, I'm naked right now'. Apparently at this point the PPI caller hangs up................

I like the one's who say your PC has been sending them error messages and that you have a virus that's causing it.
