I've had two recently where they've left a message on the answerphone "this is HMRC, we have opened a law suit against you, press one to speak to your case supervisor". Looks like I'm going to prison.....

Best one I had was a few years ago and he was were trying too sell us solar panels.

Me I thought I'd be cleaver pick up the phone and answered it typical sales man trying too worm is way though.

I said this better be worth it as were busy enough with recruits as it is.

What do you mean?

SARGENT MAJOR GET THOSE BEEPING RECUITS ON THE MOVE GOD DAMN IT I'M GETTING TIRED SEEING THEM DO BEEP ALL.

Very sorry about that but you just dialled a military training camp.
If I hear other phone call again I will shove that plastic speaker so far up beeping ass your rear end will be a receiving a large phone bill as I booted it up there it hit last number re dail.

I'm very sorry errrrrrrrrrrr sir.

Its Major too you remember that.

Hung up father and son team work.

Its been a while but we never had any sales man tying too sell solar panels again.

Happy Lordy.

Brilliant! I loath these people!

Last time I had 'Windows' on the phone I adopted my friend's approach:-

"usual bull"

"Aww - you are sooo lucky having such a brilliant boss"

" ..."

"Your boss - Mr Gates - he must really care as he is always calling to see how I am and help me out"

"I hang up" 'click'!

How rude!

You have to give those Nigerians credit for trying We would get orders from them for machinery often £30K they then supplied a Letter of Credit (LC) we would ask for confirmed LC on first class UK bank, the Nigerians were writing their own LC's against Nat West bank, naturally the scam appeared when you tried to have it confirmed with the bank but, I'll bet plenty got scammed with it.
