bluespiritSo, I just got a phone call from this guy asking is this ****** (my tel no). This sounds suspicious to me & so I ask 'Who's calling please?' He says that he's conducting a national underwear survey.
*blinks*
Oh, yeah - pull the other one, mate. Oh, wait - that's what he'd be doing while asking me what I was wearing!
Pah! I said 'Oh, I don't think so' & hung up. I did 1471 & the caller had withheld the number. Somehow methinks this wasn't legit.

Date: 15 Oct 2007 09:55 am (UTC)I suppose it's sad really - that some people have to resort to this kind of thing to get turned on. But then, what if it had been someone vulnerable who he'd called, someone that had been taken in my his sick scam? *shudder*
I really wish there'd have been a number & I'd have passed it to the police to check out. What is a nuisance to me could be a real trauma to someone else. :-(

Date: 15 Oct 2007 02:08 pm (UTC)I'd thought I could get around the whole Sky One thing by just downloading. So I wake up Sat morning ready to DL Atlantis & what do I find? No bloody broadband! Grrr.
If they don't get their act together sharpish then I'm getting Sky!

Date: 15 Oct 2007 04:47 pm (UTC)At my last job (telephone operator for the directory inquiry)we had this customer who, for some strange reason, got turned on by the word 'oilcloth'. He used to call several times every day and try to make us say it...
