I still have this gizmo I bought from teleshop 7 years back. Connect in your line, line out to your phone. The bitch is that callers will need to key in a four digit code before the phone will ring! Want to ebay with me?

And by the way, I have a pesky, nagging wife, any software to download or not?

bro Zeitgeist,

need to consult bro Microsoft on this software issue. i'm quite ignorant when it comes to these phone softwares, i only know how to make a call, receive one and make smses.

Was just grabbing arse with you, just felt the humour of how we all are getting to the point of instinctively looking for IT solutions whenever we are stonwalled!

i'm not sure if i'm the only one...

are you guys getting calls from banks asking you to sign up for credit cards and related services, e.g. loans and low interests repayment schemes?

what would you do when you pick up such calls?

tell them you earn 1k per mth or not yet discharged from bankrupt.

dont pick up call from private number

now mkt bad, many bloodsucking companies pulling off many stunts using telemarketeers. english speaking they use pinoy, mandarin speaking they use PRC. the moment u answer the phone they shoot their script like the micromachine advertisement. hw i know its a script? i hang up, then they call again, and once i answer, they shoot the same script.

sometimes u get calls from;
banks offering c-cards, not 1 but 2 cards.
insurance offering FOC financial consultation
timeshare scam telling u to collect your lucky draw return ticket to zimbabwe

i always use fake foreign accent, tell them i not sinkie

i'm suspecting the banks pass our numbers to the telemarketeers? i don't know.

 

[ArtBoon]

Maybe tel co sell our number?

if you have an acount with a bank,they will have all your details.
so it is not surprising if those telemarketeers from the bank have your details unless you have specify indicate that you do not want any promotion from them.

A wee bit unkind, is it not? I'll tell them I'm migrating and on the way to the airport at that very moment!
