    I don't have a landline anymore. One of my better recent decisions. The number of nuisance calls on my mobile is minimal.

    I took the exact same call for the wife on her phone yesterday , I promptly said to the caller , " there" someone knocking at the door, can you hold please " , and then placed the phone out of the way in the bathroom , needless to say , I checked the phone 10 mins later & they had duly hung up

    Once had a call from an Indian guy telling me my pc had a virus so after saying no i havent and him not taking no for an answer I continued and because i was feeling mischivious i continued in an Indian accent to keep him talking and waste his time...he paused and said well done he then continued with a Welsh accent so i came back at him with my best bit of Welsh followed by a quick we are doomed Scottish drawl I then hit him with my Irish impression not to be beaten he came back with a perfect scouse accent and before i could reply he says yes youre good but can't beat an old fashioned ....**** off and HUNG up ....lol
    mind we've never had another call from them since lol

    I asked one caller from India to wait whilst I went upstairs to switch the computer on. He was still there 20 minutes later. I usually tell them I'm the Butler and that Mr Manlito is on an expedition the the South Pole and won't be back for 6 months.

    Anyone who has caller display on their phone can see the number before answering.
    I do love to answer some of these calls, ask who do they want, I'll go and fetch him, and say I'll put you on hold, then put the receiver next to my hi-fi and let them listen to 4 or 5 minutes of my jazz before they end their call.

    Got one yesterday on my mobile. Caller asks is that Mr Mummmmbblee.
    So I just for a laugh went along with it and said yes.
    He asked me to confirm things like.
    Are You over 40, You are married, you have a combined income of over 40k a year, plus other quite personal questions.
    I just said yes and confirmed his questions. Well he said you entered a questionaire recently and luckily I have won some prize in America. This can be picked up once over there but I'd have to arrange for my own flights to Miami.
    Absolutely fantastic I said. He got quite excited at this and started giving me some more info.
    Hey wait a minute please I said but where did you get my phone number? Oh you entered a competition a few weeks back he said. No I didna I said but if you wouldna mind just send on a cheque for the monerary value of the prize and I'll be happy to accept.
    Oh it doesn't work like that. Then in that case you can just go and **** yourself. I'm so glad to have wasted your time.
    HaHaHa he was so upset. Started calling me liar. Yes I agreed and you are a dick I said. Enjoy the rest of your day. Then blocked the number.
    Unfortunately he will scam a more vulnerable person out of their savings. Horrible people these.

    I posted similar a couple of weeks ago. Told them that I was busy atm but if they could phone back in half an hour on another number I'd be happy to talk to them. I gave them Tayside Poilice number. LOL
