If you suddenly had a call from somebody who you hadn't spoken to in 12 years and it was a pressured sales call would you feel justified in blocking them or would you be unreasonable ?

Why do you think it would be unreasonable? You don't even know them anymore.

Acesulfame · 13/03/2021 19:09

Sounds fine to me. Not unreasonable.

You can block whoever you like

TopTabby · 13/03/2021 19:17

Definitely block! I was so happy to get a message from an old work colleague once, it started so well
"Hello Tabby been wondering how you are?"
So far so good but you guessed it,
"I'd love to show you these fantastic products from (insert name of shite MLM)..."
And you got an actual phone call?
Block block block, of all the nerve.

Changeforchangessake · 13/03/2021 19:18

What did you say or was it a voice mail?

Gazelda · 13/03/2021 19:18

I'd have no qualms in blocking them.

redorderlig · 13/03/2021 19:19

As little as possible, I put them on speaker phone and got on with what I was doing Grin

Maybe we know the same person, they have probably been going through their old phone numbers.

I had a text a few days ago from someone I know gut we are not good friend more sort of nod and pass the time of day or when we went to the pub we might chat for about 5 mis about family stuff , but no more than that .
The text started

Me , fine thanks
Him everyone always needs a bit more money tho dont they ?
Me umm yes some may do
Him click on this link and it will show you how you can earn £300 per week
Me , no thanks
he then sends me about 6 more messages saying I must click the link as I need to earn more to keep my family happy ( I live alone and he knows this )

I told him to feck off and blocked him !
