I am trying to get off their call list by making a nuisance of myself.
After the speel, I say "Oh there is a problem with my Windows ?"
Oh yes they say we would like to fix it.
I say OK just a minute, go and make a cup of coffee then after five
minutes, I come back and say "I have been all round the house and I
can't find anything wrong with my windows !"
They then tumble they have been had, but you have to be not a wilting
flower as you will get a lot of swearing and abuse for wasting their time.
Another one I use is if the English is poor, I say I can't understand
you, do you have someone with better English, they then get someone else.
I then let them go through the "windows key & 8 key routine and they
then ask what is on your screen ? I say just some icons. No they
say hold down the window key and press 8.
And so we go around and around the routine.
Sometimes the more switched on will ask what windows are you using ?
I'll say Windows ? I don't use windows, I use Linux because it
"p477es off people like you. Most will ask :whats that ?"
A friend of mine hacks them when they call and gets them talking to
each other and causes havoc in their call centre.
By the way their activity is a little earner on the side when the
call centre is not busy.
I finish by telling them to get a real job.
Another thing to watch for is the spiffing false Telstra bill.
Look down the bottom, if it says "Telstra a division of Bigpond"
it should be the other way around.
Cheers and have fun with them. Although your fix might be inconvenient someday.
