But yeah, the cake thing might not work at work...<br /><br />David - Yeah, but those guys are ok I think, headhunters usually asks people if they have anyone to recommend and people usually don't want to be identified as the person who gave out the name. Same goes for these offshore things. <br /><br />jlpt2kyu - Well, these guys I do hate. Telemarketers and people who do it for a living I can pity, but not these blatant in your face identity theft liars...Mr. Salarymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02874380653396343115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-35969856577229873172009-10-28T17:37:13.939+09:002009-10-28T17:37:13.939+09:00pity, not hate.pity, not hate.jlpt2kyunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-8202267374096812652009-10-28T11:59:28.860+09:002009-10-28T11:59:28.860+09:00I've had several calls from financial institut...I've had several calls from financial institutions claiming they were referred to me (strangely they will never say who referred them), but never anything like this.<br /><br />You should have asked for a phone number to call him back on. Maybe could have traced him through it.<br /><br />Quite appropriate that he chose the name "Knut" though - it's very similar to the English word that I use to describe these people.Davidhttp://mdid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531601964128518668.post-34817646255128665862009-10-28T03:28:01.199+09:002009-10-28T03:28:01.199+09:00My favorite thing to do to telemarketers is act re...My favorite thing to do to telemarketers is act really, really interested and then say "do you mind if I take a cake out of the oven real quick? I'll be right back." You'd be shocked how long they'll sit there. The best thing I can do is cost them money...kvdKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855990208488482147noreply@blogger.com
