Fed-up with Telemarketeers? Use Counter-Script every time!

This morning, a bloke with an Indian accent phoned on behalf of an accident and injury company. I didn't have Counter script close to hand, but immediately asked where he got my details from.

After some chatter he said "192.com".

Next question, Where are you phoning from?

This was trickier and after some hesitation he came up with "Manchester"

Now I reckon if he was in any city beginning with "M" it would be Mumbai.

Me: What street in Manchester? (!)

This had him fluxommed, but I persisted. I could sense his consternation at being asked for a street in Manchester.

After repeated attempts to get the street name:

"Mr Carter I don't have time for this and I wish you a good weekend. Goodbye"

A Result, I think.
