I'm working from home today. Preparing for my next phone meeting. Phone (my WORK phone) rings so I answer and of course, it's the nice recorded female telling me they've been trying to reach me about my cars warranty....
I've got a few minutes to spare so I figure let's slow them down a bit.
I wait for the next salesman and the guy had a T.H.I.C.K foreign accent, almost to the point of not being understandable AND (no disrespect) he talked as fast as someone from the north east. (fortunately, I'm a Yankee myself so that part was fine BUT for some others in the area I live, that would have made his sales pitch more difficult)
I play along..... told him that (because her initial recording said they had RECENTLY sent me a flier in the mail, which we all know is B.S.) I told him that I GOT their mail and I had ALREADY sent a check in the mail...
He paid no attention and started his speed talk about year/make of car... so I changed gears and made up some information. He asked if I had any other cars. I stuttered a bit and made him repeat it.... (anything to slow them down)
I finally said that yes, I had several antique cars.
To which he said "Sir, I think you are lying to me..... you think about our offer" and he hung up.
Heh. He just made my day.
