Of course not! But a job's a job and somebody must take the bait!

'Ohhhhh yes! Well, technically if was my fault. If the police find out I was pissed I'm in real trouble. Thank Christ they didn't find the cocaine in the boot'.

It's a job. Job centre send claimants for the shittest of the shit interviews and stop your money if you don't go for it. I genuinely feel sorry for the people who are forced into this or face absolute poverty.

I just say, ‘Yeah, it was awful, I died‘ in a scandalised voice.

The best tactic I’ve found is to ask them to tell me what my name is. Usually they hang up. I haven’t had one of these calls for ages,

SilverySurfer · 30/11/2019 13:53

I go into great detail of how horrendous the (non-existent) crash was, blood and gore everywhere, you can hear them getting excited and they ask if they can represent you in a claim and you say oh that would be great..... pause.... but unfortunately you can't .........because I'm dead. Cue vile swearing and crashing down of phone.

They seem to be automated now pretending to be real people by taking little pauses now and again.

Foxyloxy1plus1 · 30/11/2019 14:57

If you pick up the phone, but don’t speak, automated calls disconnect.

ThinkIamflyingundertheradar · 30/11/2019 16:40

It’s incredibly tedious getting these calls. It must be even worse making them.

I just tell them I don't drive. Or I just don't speak, and wait for them to hang up.
