The Cold Call // bogey phone number thread

[playthatbeat]

Recently, a shitload of random callers have been appearing on my delicious unlisted number at the bratcave, so i have decided to make a list of them:

00442083289923 - supposedly in london - engaged 24/7



00441233631556 - supposedly in essex - engaged 24/7

These numbers are obviously the work of the devil.

[topaz]

I recently had the pleasure of telling SKY to GTFO, and within 30 minutes i started getting cold calls from 'research organisations'.. When i asked them where they got my number (which is not only ex-directory, but never used as it's for teh internets) they told me it was 'randomly generated'.. so, since they were calling from the UK, to call ireland would require: 00353 - 5 digits, and then 8-11 more to get a number.. Thats a 13 to 16 digit random number - I THINK NOT.

After the 2nd one in 30 minutes, i decided to demand they never call this number again as it was a private number for the use of the American diplomatic service and embassy staff, else i would erase their identitys - this worked to stop the calls from +44 'research institute of [unintelligable] wanting to ask questions about the media devices in my home..'

BUT, now they are spamming me with snail mail. lots of nonsense, but STILL SKY are posting shit to me - claiming things like I OWE THEM MONEY - impossible as they take payment in advance, and if they fail cut You off - hense the row we found ourselves in.. But anyway, after 3 months of PAY UP OR WE WILL SUE YOU, they are now promising to 'let me off 1/2 my debt' if i promise to let them Direct Debit me for a year! HEY GUYS - HOW DOES GO FU*K YOURSELVES SOUND? I cannot believe the neck of these people. THERE IS NO DEBT YOU FUC*ERS I CANNED YOU COS YOU WERE SHIT AND YOUR CALL CENTRE OP WAS LIPPY AND WOULD NOT PUT ME THRU TO A SUPERVISOR AFTER YOU ROBBED MY CREDIT CARD DETAILS TO BUY FLIGHTS TO THE UK FROM AFRICA. So, when they recently got a bloke from cork (who i swear i know..) to call me to threaten me, then to lick my balls, i had to break the news to him that i had already removed the card from the machine, unplugged it, then plugged it back in holding the BACKUP button with no card in it, and i was now the proud owner of a BBC LONDON shitbox - one that doesn't keep asking for a fuc*ing PIN when i try to watch ITV4 or BBC3! I think he got the message. Have been spam and call free for 10 days now!!!

2 this week from NEWS INTERNATIONAL aka SKY TV, trying to rope us into a 'gallup national survey' that for some reason includes the Republic of Ireland -

00441234270025

Usual, You see the UK number, think it's someone real, answer it to hear a RINGING tone, then some caged rat answers and gives You the speel..

There are 6 courses of action here -

[1] Hang up instantly, making sure the fool hears you laughing as you do.
[2] Pretend You are going to play ball, but politely enquire as to how Your number was so lucky to be dialled by his Autodial 500XL, asking it never be dialled again before politely hanging up.
[3] You tell him to politely fu*k the hell off really really quickly, and hang up.
[4] Take the nice man's survey and spill the beans about how you get your jollys so they can bomb you with junkmail and moar calls
[5] Take the nice man's survey and lie quite profoundly to spoil the trend.
[6] Say 'one second my dear..' - fetch Your rave whistle, and blow it long and hard into the phone, until he hangs up.

I decided to go with [2], as i was interested to hear the same lie twice - YOUR NUMBER WAS RANDOMLY DIALLED. oh really? Randomly. Let's see. From Your accent, You are from norf london, the dialling code is Engerland, so to dial me, you would have had to randomly start a 13-digit number with 003531 TWICE IN 1 WEEK. What are the odds of that? Well, let me guess. 1 in 10 of starting with zero, 1 in 10 of next number 0, 1 in 100 of them being in sequence (and so on), so the odds of getting 2 random 13 digit numbers starting 003531 twice are goddam enormous. The odds of getting the exact fuc*ing same 13 digit number twice are MUCH MUCH longer.

From this i conclude that mr man on the blower from SKY pretending to be someone else was a fuc*ing liar. So i told him of my opinion, and asked him (for the 3rd time) to never ever ring the number again.

I expect another miracle of probability sometime in the next few days.

'fetch Your rave whistle!' hahaha...

[brain]
