Nuisance phone calls 🤬

[User00056]

I remember reading of one legend who, when he received a call about a 'recent accident' played along beautifully.

After stringing the guy along for a while, and getting him more and more excited about a possible bite, he finally offered up the information that his vehicle was a Challenger tank, and that he'd put it through a compound wall in Afghanistan

I have had my fair share nuisance phone calls I remember one I received and I pretended to be in a chicken shed the call last for around a minute or so but it was highly satisfying

I used to get them all times of the wee hours. In the end, I would say, "Yes, I will go get them," and leave the phone on the side!

Next was an air horn. Tell the guy to hold his phone close to his ear as my voice and hearing weren't up to much. Then blast him with a nice long burst.

Lastly, as others say, nothing. Just keep talking as if in another conversation or place next to the TV.

I've got a mate who answers this type of call with the phrase " Detective Inspector (his surname" here, can I help you? Reckons his number gets put on a do not call list after that

I do that, but add that this is an unlisted number connected to the Royal Protection branch and demand to speak to their supervisor.

Some just hang up but i had one guy pleading with me not to report him

"We are doing an energy survey in your postcode area."

Replies me "What postcode area is that?" They usually hang up immediately.
