Subject: [access-uk] Re: New Form of Unwanted Telephone Scam Call
Until we got BT Call Protect installed I always responded to spam or scam calls with the question “Why don’t you get an honest job and stop trying to swindle people?”, always got a stunned silence though.
Now of course I just dial 1572 and add them to my personal blacklist, now I am down to one persistent recorded call that insist that the government want to give me a new boiler ( yeah of course they do ) but I think they are running out of telephone numbers as I haven’t had a call for a few days.
These people really are the scum of the world who give pond life a bad name.

Hi Trace,
I understand why you do that, but I see little point in using any invective,
vulgarity or profanity against these people.
As far as they are concerned they are employees of a larger employer who is
actually responsible for their efforts. While we recognise that what they
are doing is totally wrong, it may not be so in their view. They are just
earning a living.
My reaction when they do come through and I have the time is to see how long
I can hold them on the phone without giving them any personal information at
all. If I can then keep the line open for longer then the better it is.
It is their employers that the authorities need to get their hands on and
then confiscate all of their equipment, destroy it and then restrict their
movements in the usual way for criminals.
