If it's any consolation, It's not just you, Spacey.

 

I can't get my fix either.

 

Don't worry, Ian will fix it in due course.

You can usually tell when it's going to be a scammer because there's a few seconds of dead air after you say "Hello? Hello?".

 

Then you get an Indian voice.

 

That's when I hang up.

If I receive a call between 3pm and 8pm, I'll pick up the phone and say nothing. Usually, after about 30-45 seconds, I'll get the busy signal. If they speak, I'll either be able to identify the voice, or I'll know it's an unwanted scam or telemarketing call.

There's also software they use which sets the local code, then dials the individual numbers in that code. For example, Price Waterhouse Cooper's phone number in Sydney is 8266 0000. The software will dial every number in that 8266 group from 0000 to 9999. If the call is answered, the software records that number as an active connection. Then a list of all the active connections in the group can be sold off to telemarketers to annoy you. This way, the marketers can target a market. They wouldn't try to sell insulation in the 8266 group, but would target a suburban area, such as 4655 0000 to 9999.

 

What I'd like to know is how these Indiuns get business information. I was recently dealing with a car insurance claim. My insurance company does not have overseas call centres, however I received a phone call from "Roger" claiming to be from my insurer. His voice told me that he would be more likely to cheer for Virat Kohli than Tim Paine. I just told him that I refused to speak to anyone from the Sub-Continent.

The Indians working for "the technical department of Telstra have resurfaced.

I just say I don't even know if YOU are Mahatma Gandi? I doubt they even know who he was. Nev

 

 

[Marty_d]

Mahatma Coat is more popular.
