Cold Callers

I had a phone call the other day. I’m sure he had phoned before, but I had always ignored him. Feeling slightly curious I picked up the phone and answered some of his pointless questions. He kept saying I didn’t have to give my bank details and that even if I did pay for his lottery tickets – 100s of lines of them apparently – I could just get my money back if I lost. I thought this was too good to be true – but it held my interest and carried on listening. This is what people call the ‘hook’ I think. He kept on rabbiting on about how good a deal it is, and that he couldn’t live without his mum’s curries. I said yes what a lovely deal but I don’t want to give my bank details over the phone – which is sound advice to anyone I feel. And then after I put forth my interest about buying of course he asked me for my bank details. I put the phone down. It’s no wonder people don’t like cold callers or want to talk to them. I hope he never gets any more curries.
