play with your self ? on ukulele or such ,or just a plonker.as guitar or the like, p.s. you have plenty of time.ok-pjThey are just a bit daft! Anyone who has a prime account knows that it is a rolling monthly payment, not yearly! It can be stopped and started whenever you like too.. I love those calls, I feign pannick and go into meltdown for them. I have one of those clickers that were used on D-Day as a communication device, during the meltdown I click it once and go quiet. Then in an "official" voice, inform the caller that I am from the Fraud Office (is there such a thing?) and that they are being tracked. Line usually goes dead at this point.
I know it sounds sad, but I am retired, what else can I do to while away the lonely hours?
good on ya.ok pjEr... I have a Prime account for which I pay annually every November (currently £79 p.a.) I can stop it any time I want to but it will continue until the next renewal date. I suspect that if I then restart, it will be on the (more expensive) rolling monthly basis.
FWIW, I have a PBX that I've configured to automatically record every call. So, I usually try to get them to identify the true source and ask them where they got my info from before mentioning that the call is being recorded for fraud prevention purposes. At that point, the line usually goes dead. That said, I agree that it can be fun to play with these people if I have the time to spare as any time they waste with me can't be spent scamming someone else!
We had similar calls saying our BT internet was about to be switched off and to press 1 if I wanted to keep it on, we are with VM so obviously a scam but even if we were not it isn't a good idea to press 1 with unsolicited calls
Want to foil internet scammers? Don't press '1'
