I have a similar way of dealing with those cold calls, Senn. Yes, I know we can get our number on the telephone preference list, but some calls seep through. OK, the conversation might go as follows: "Hello, Mr Liddell, may I ask you a couple of questions?" Me - "Yes, of course. That's one." "Pardon, sir?" Me - "That's two. thanks; goodbye!" That makes me feel good! The other type was brilliant. A firm called, asking if I was interested in car insurance. Being a sort of curious chap, I answered that I was. We then got into a twenty minute conversation regarding the clauses of the policy. At last, I asked... "Can I ask a question?" "Yes, by all means, sir." "Does it matter that I'm blind?" He hung up for some reason! -----Original Message----- From: Sennjan Kadir - Email Address: senn.kadir@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 22/06/2012 19:48 Sent To: Guide Chat - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] In Reply To: [guide.chat] In Reply To: [guide.chat] SCAM ALERT! Jim, I will have to try that, thanks for the idea. They really drive me up the wall! I must of had at least six calls from them each time its slightly different. There is no way I would let them have access to my laptop. Senn. ----- No virus found in this message.
