Scam Phone Call...

[queenofmean]

...this just happened and I can't stop laughing you shall see why...

Shop phone rings
'Hello'
'Hello, I'm Harry and I'm calling from Accident Claim Line'
'I'm sorry this is a business phone number and nobody has had an accident'
' Yes, Someone banged you hard from behind on August 15' cue mental laughter..
' No, I'm sorry nobody has had an accident'
' I'm looking to speak to ' T' about this accident'
' She's not here and I've told you she hasn't had an accident'
' Don't you tell me she hasn't had an accident. I will call later'
I said don't bother and hung up

T is my boss in case you are curious. Also she was at work on the 15th! I tell you it was hard not to burst out laughing like a loon until I got off the phone.
I had to share please...have a laugh

[Bazile]

Well , you had him bang to rights

[Bazile]

By the way - was his full name Harry Bangawala ?

[Tuvok]

Wonder what his reaction would have been if he'd called a genuine acident claim department!

[queenofmean]

Well some one has to Bazile...

No idea he just said Harry but if he's a Harry then I'm the Queen lol

[queenofmean]

I'd pay to see that Tuvok!

[Mamyalynne]

You handled it well, I always like to inject some humour into these situations.

No scam calls today but just had a rather sweet wrong number call....from a young lad with the same name as one of my Grandsons but most definitely wasn't him.

We had a nice little chat.

[ethandron]

A young Indian gentleman rang me to let me know I'd been awarded a once in a lifetime £8,000 by the government.
I told him I was extremely rich and had no need of it so I'd prefer it to go to my favourite charity. He swore at me and hung up. Result!

[queenofmean]

I was getting close to losing my cool but I desperately wanted to laugh Mamya.

Don't get as many as used to, rarely get any at work. The last one we had the whole shop erupted with laughter...

But I'm glad you enjoyed your wee chat with the lad on the phone

[queenofmean]

That's a good one ethandron!

Nungate and I joked about sometime answering the phone and saying ' it's done. There's blood everywhere' and hang up...

[Smowball]

I get this ALL the time lol. Last time they said "are you SURE you havent had an accident ??" No I haven't !!

[queenofmean]

Like we wouldn't notice eh Smow. I had one like that recently about my Car accident 3 years ago...I didn't have a car 3 years ago but he was insistent...I hung up there's no arguing or reasoning with these muppets

[SIRandyraven]

I get the Microsoft ones in Switzerland.
They start of the conversation in High German and then i say English please ?
A few then carry on in English , you have a virus blah blah , but others have said in broken English , sorry I only speak German , Italian and French !
Errr the why the hell are you in a sweat shop in India making these scam calls ?

[queenofmean]

Dad had that one yesterday. But that is a very good point her SIrandyraven
