Stopping International sales calls (before I lose the plot entirely)

[JaneSeymour]

We recently moved here and have had persistent calls from an Indian call centre asking for a Mr Wells.

I have no idea what they want, I am not and never have been Mr Wells, and it's getting worse - they tried three times this pm when I was collecting ds from school.

The number comes up as 00000000 which means I have stopped answering it - but it happens when I am really busy or the baby has just got to sleep or something, which drives me bats.

I know the TPS doesn't stop them, we're registered with them already - I've tried asking them to remove me from their list but they don't understand and just keep on with the 'Oh fgs it's only a minute of your time' until I hang up

Has anyone got any ideas to stop the feckers? I think our new number is a recycled one tbh, possibly a repossessed number by the tone of the calls!!

Thanks

we got these too.... tell them that Mr Wells is dead - it might stop them... it did in our case

Oh really?

Ok worth a try isn't it!

I told them he didn't live here, they just started asking about ME then and whether I own or rent...it was awful. He got so rude I ended up hanging up.

or you could go on about you've had a really bad day.... your husband thinks your fat, he doesn't want sex with you anymore, the kids have trashed the house... you havent had an orgasm in years.... what can he advise you do? Guaranteed HE wont ring you back!

forgot to add a and a to that!

indeed!

Thankyou, you cheered me up anyway
