It's like those bastards that ring you up to tell you that you've been in an accident, what the fuck is all that about???

I keep getting them call me on my work phone. I know its all bollix as I never give that number to anyone. When they call I turn the conversation round.

OK, so what's my name? They usually get that wrong.
If they do get the name then its "Which accident are you referring to? I have been in three recently". I haven't but that usually stumps them.
If I don't use the which accident question, its OK, what reg number and address do you have? They can never answer this as the insurance companies don't provide that data to them.

These ambulance chasing companies are bastards. The Insurance companies are worse though as they are the ones that sell (yes sell) lists of accident victims to them as another revenue stream.

When I get these twats I usually keep them going for a while, I then ask them if it was the accident I was killed in they are on about, that usually gets rid of them. The computer ones I usually keep going for ten minutes then tell them they are scammers and anything they say I reply with "scammer" they don't usually stay on the line  long after that, as a side note I have noticed if I have to call BT for any broadband or line problems I always have Keith or Brian on the phone with the your computer is showing problems routine, I often think someone in BT is passing on your details to his cousin.
