These assholes just called me. A nice and sincere voice concerned about my well being here in Bangkok. The gentleman said he was based in Bangkok, had a work permit and was just trying to help me out.
He said my phone number came from the airport. What ever that means.:confused:
Please pay attention people!
I feel a tour coming...:)
Offshore and Tax-Free Investment Services - DeVere & Partners
snd then ?
hehehehehe.
I get them (cold calls) a lot. They seem to get past my secretary by asking to speak to "William", which makes her think that it's a personal call.
they bladdy well share your credit card details with each other also! Was well pissed off when I found that out! Had a cheeky git from the All Seasons Hotel tryign to sell me something and he says I got ur details and card numbers - I just had to say yes! - you can imagine what i said to him!
hillbilly - did he try sell you something or what?
If you have the patience, you can fool them into dropping by and buying lunch for you!:cool:
"Yeah - that sounds really like a really interesting investment opportunity. Actually, yes, I do happen to have a large amount of money on a low interest account - do you think it would be worth doing something else with that money?, etc, etc..."
^ but that would be like having lunvch with the Hari Krishnas or Mormons,
just not worth it!
Dunno, I got one company to help me set up an offshore bank account in the Channel Islands some years ago (over several lunches). Then told them I wasn't planning on doing any further business with them. :1st:Quote:

Sorry guys, I was a little drunk last night and put this in the wrong thread. Probably better in the cap's lounge. Mods, can you help me out?:)
BTW, I am still going to play with this...
I'll have lunch with anyone who's paying for the beer. I think my name is now on some "Do not Call" list that they also share. :)Quote:

Would rather pay for my own meal, some of them farangs are desperate to close a deal.Quote:

Best activity for guys who call up selling stuff is to take the phone to the crapper and curl out a big terd with a few choice farts, Hold the handset real close to your exit hole for clarity.
They love it!:cool:
Any calls i get like that, the first thing I do is ask them to tell me what they are wearing and to discribe what they look like.It gives you a sense of achievment to get them to hang up on you.
last time one called, I lectured him on the need to have a WP in LOS for that kind of deal. I bored him for 30 min, and he never called back. I was probably blacklisted from their contact database
I'd like to have supernatural powers that allowed me project a 10 second vision of Hell into every orifice of the person making the call. Where does the idea come from that it's okay to ring a person up out of the blue and to try to sell them something!?....If you are selling a car do you just pick numbers out of the telephone directory and make calls, 'Hi, you don't me and I don't know you - I just wondering if you were interested in buying a 10 year old Ford Focus; it's blue'
I used to try different kinds of tactics on these telemarketers. The most useful and entertaining was my paranoid bit. "Who are you?" "How did you get my number?" "I'm onto you people" and so forth. When I couldn't be bothered I put the handset next to the TV while playing a porno. One guy :o :rolleyes: didn't hang up for about 20 minutes (I think he popped one off)
What shade?Quote:
