Wish these BA****ds could be apprehended. When you get a live scammer on the phone just play with them a while, it's good fun 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,009 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Pretend to be your butler. Pretend you don’t know what a computer is. Speak in a different language. Ask for their mother’s maiden name and the number of their bank account. The list is endless 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,224 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Have done all these things including:-F***k off,go home on your banana boat,blown a whistle down the phone among other things. It still pisses me off though as there are possibly some people in my age group fall for them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,355 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 There are people of all age groups who fall victim to scams. Always best to be on your guard and never trust anyone, particularly online or on the phone. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 13,355 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I never get scam calls because I don't have a landline and don't answer when it's an unknown caller. Edited May 14, 2020 by Gonzo79 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 5,952 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 As people are ignoring the excellent advice of the UK government I would end the furlough scheme today if these people can fill parks and beaches they can also fill the workplace . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,355 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I don't think the Tories or the SNP have given 'excellent' advice. I'm not sure people who work in hospitals will be keen to see everyone go back to work, all at once, either. The way this whole thing has been dealt with has been rather frustrating and the working population will be paying for it for years to come. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
