Me too but I drag it out by saying 'it's a really bad line' and after they've said it twice I repeat it back to them. I can do that three or four times before they realise I'm taking the piss. If I'm really bored I'll stop doing it after the second one, then start doing it again later.

As a retired old geezer Ive got the time I try to keep em going as long as I can. My record stands at 31 mins. Sad I know but I feel I'm developing my social skills by doing it!
Our Gert uses another great technique. She answers in a very old lady cranky voice saying "Is that you Robin"? "Its my birthday" "Have you rung me to sing"? and stuff like that. When they start singing we can rarely hold it together!
 
Have you tried 'who called me' on Google?

Failing that, turn the tables and go fucking weird on them in any future calls. I.e. Ask them what they're wearing for a starter, then up the ante from there. They'll soon fuck off.
 
Anyone still getting calls for this?

Despite me telling those calling twice now that I'm not interested, I'm still getting calls pretty much every weekday for the last few weeks at least both on my mobile and work phone.

Ignoring them now but despite telling me they'd remove the numbers they're still coming.

It's a sure fire way not to get people to join if they're not that fussed anyway.
 
I had a call this week professing to be from Sheffield United. I've had these before and they were just trying to get me to sign up for the Superdraw. They're obviously being handled by a third party of telephone operators not even based in the city. I looked carefully and the number was from an 01144 number not an 01142. On the mobile it flashed up as a Sheffield number but 01144 clearly isn't. Very clever.

I just hung up but as an aside, I sometimes like toying with spam callers.
"Hello?"
"Mr Billyblade?"
"Speaking"
"Hi, it's Dave Chundrawahuladoprahaji from 'So, Helpful and Caring solicitors regarding the recent accident you were involved in"
"Oh, I'm sorry to have to inform you Dave, I actually died in that accident and am speaking to you from beyond the grave".
Click.

"Hello?"
"Mr Billyblade?"
"Speaking"
"Hello it's Dave Chundrawahuladoprahaji from 'Skanking Bastard Credit Agency' here"
"Where were you 3 months ago?
"Sorry?"
"Where were you 3 months ago, I needed some help but I'm now in prison for credit card fraud"
"You're not allowed mobile phones in prison"
"I know I smuggled this one in up my arse"
"Oooh, you'll get into real trouble for that"
"Never mind it's worth it so I can download lots of snuff films"
"Er, I, er, um"
"Anyway I have to go now, can't speak for too long the smell of shit is a little overwhelming"
Click.

These have genuinely happened, the names have been changed to protect the innocent (moi) and because I can't remember the names of the cunts that rang me.

They called me constantly about a fortnight ago on work, mobile and home phones. Extremely annoying and intrusive.

My in-laws phone number is 0114 4... and they live at Halfway. Maybe the 0114 2 numbers that were introduced in the 1990s have now been exhausted.

Nice, I like those and I'm sure they appreciate it as well :D

One of my favs (from another scammer from abroad) was when they asked to speak to me and I said hang on a sec while I find him - I proceeded to put the handset into the kitchen cupboard...
Went back a few mins later to say, he's on his way.... I went back about 5 mins later to find out the ignorant sod had hung up on me! The cheek of it eh? :)
 



0114 4 is a Sheffield code. The internet suggests it could be a Vizion Communication Ltd number.

Many people have searched the number over the last 30 days who's been calling me according to a few sites on the tinterweb.

The code for Sheffield is 0114. When they introduced it they began by allocating numbers beginning with 2 always with the intention of starting with other digits when the 2s had been fully used.

In fairness that coffee that's made from beans that certain cats shit out, costs a fortune.

If this becomes a new venture I want cutting in. 15% of all profits, a company Ofo, and life presidency.
 
I keep getting calls from 0114 447 0236 - Last time I did answer it was someone 'from' SUFC who wanted me to join the superdraw. Call didn't last long when I told them I was already in it.

Which reminds me of my all time favourite Viz letter:

I heard recently that, on average, Alex Ferguson receives two turds in the post each week.
What I want to know is, who's sending the other one?

Ah yes, the Viz letters and Top Tips. They were properly funny.
