Thanks for the links Ruth.
I answered a phone call today, something I rarely do.
Caller "Am I speaking to Mrs Jo"
Me " No"
Caller "We need to deliver some cash to you today will you be in"
Me "I think you have the wrong number"
Caller "No the cash is definitely for you, I just need to check we have the correct postcode and I need to confirm that you will be in"
Me "Can you swim?
Caller "I don't understand"
Me " I live on a boat, you will have to swim out to deliver the cash"
Dial tone!!!!

Good one, Hester! Sounds like a scam - what d'you think?
What I would call the perfect answer!
I haven't had to use it much of late (since I generally keep my phone switched off) but I found that telling cold callers that they had a fantastic voice and then asking them what they were wearing usually got them to hang up quickly. For the few who persisted even after that I then tell them what _I_ am wearing (using some poetic licence of course). Never got repeat callers, so I think it probably got me on their firm's "blocked blacklist".
Very clever - might try it
Oooh, Cardinal, you naughty person. I love it! Too damned many scammers out there; my MIL got stung but as she doesn’t drive, couldn’t get the gift cards the scammer wanted.
I reckon checking to burgle possibly, if you say you will be out. Obviously get somewhere with some people. Will have to try that answer myself if we get a call.
You are one smart lady!! Glad you thwarted the caller!
Absolutely brilliant :-)
LOL.
