    Sounds proper dodgy that, they knew your name too?
    I'm getting sick of all the calls from people who want to help me advertise, improve my google rank (I'm on page 1 already), chase my debts etc. You know it's one of them as soon as they say 'Hello, how are you today?'
    I shut one up a few months back by replying 'Actually I'm not good, one of my testicles is really sore.' She said 'Sorry, I think I misheard you', so I replied 'I have a really sore testicle, I think it's a bit swollen too'. She put the phone down - how very rude!

    had a call of a supposedly thompsons rep yesterday, i answered and said hello, his comment was, is this plumbing and heating, not a,j plumbing & heating (my business name), so i asked him to repeat himself and he said the same again, told him to go away (polite word).
