General Chat

Just had a new one. Very faint , I thought he said he was John from France. Wanting to know if I need any medication.

I'm afraid I used a word I don't usually use.

Spot on Peter! I read a few years ago not to engage in any chat with these people as they are part of criminal gangs, who will circulate your number to others. Hubby took no notice when I told him this and some time ago used to engage in baiting them. He didn't half get a shock when one started phoning every week and began using the fake name he had given them! The advice I read also said not to say your children deal with all these matters for you either! That tells them you are probably both old and vulnerable, may not be as sharp as you once were and might easily be persuaded, good news for those they sell on to!

Expired warranty on domestic appliances are a frequent one here.

Not sure where they get their information from, but in the past these calls are about my TV.....acquired as a gift from her family, after OH'S aunt died or about my Hotpoint washing machine.
I've never owned a Hotpoint machine.

Today's call did at least get the correct brand name.

Had the Amazon prime one again this afternoon

I just put the phone down
